LPPM MMV "Peter Arno"

[Dave Monroe]

"He remembered a Peter Arno cartoon in the New Yorker
he had always liked, showing a girl in Apache costume,
sitting on the lap of a depraved-looking Frenchman in
a sidewalk cafe; and the girl's friend, obviously an
American tourist, armed with camera, shoulder-bag and
guidebook, saying, with a scandalized expression, 'But
Mary Lou, you mean you're not going back to Bryn Mawr,
ever?'" (MMV, pp. 4-5)


Peter Arno

(8/1/1904 - 22/2/1968, USA) 
 
New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno may not have invented
the single-speaker captioned cartoon, but he surely
perfected it. He was about to abandon his ambition to
be an artist for a musical career when he received a
check for a drawing that he submitted to a new humor
magazine, The New Yorker, that had debuted February
21, 1925. With the publication of this spot
illustration on June 20, 1925, Arno began a 43-year
association with Harold Ross's weekly.

Arno, Peter 
  
(är´no) (KEY) , 1904–68, American cartoonist, b. New
York City. Arno’s satirical cartoons appeared in the
New Yorker magazine from 1925 until his death. He
achieved a distinctive drawing style featuring heavily
outlined figures. Notable among his urbane
characterizations are the self-important executive and
the generously endowed woman. His cartoons have been
collected in Peter Arno’s Parade (1929), Peter Arno’s
Hullabaloo (1930), Sizzling Platter (1949), and Lady
in the Shower (1967).
