he new book of cartoons by Charles Saxon
Charles Saxon has inspired a great many Americans to take a fresh look at
themselves and their behaviour. He has diagnosed what ails modern Amer
icans—or at least suburban, semiupper-class Americans—as convincingly as any
person in the land. And he has done it amiably, as befits the modern mood. The
nation does not listen to an angry man.
Great comic artists are not just funny fellows who also happen to be clever with
a pen. They are social commentators who succeed in portraying the preposterous
ness of their period more accurately than anybody else. As William Bolitho once
observed, they have not only tickled but pickled their times. History students turn
for insight to Thomas Rowlandson's caricatures of English gentlefolk circa 1800,
and to Honorl Daumier's Frenchmen of a half century later.
They learn about the mood of the Nineties in the United States from Charles
Dana Gibson, about the flapper age from John Held, Jr., about the depression
from Hoff, and about the monstrous absurdities of the Hitlerian period from
David Low and Saul Steinberg.
Charles Saxon in his quiet way is also a pickier, and quite probably his works
will someday be studied by the history students. — Vance Packard
