Cartoons: Civilian Life

Touster always loved looking at cartoons and reading the Sunday comic strips. He began drawing cartoons in high school while living with his family on 52nd Street in Brooklyn, and his cartoons usually took the form of a single panel with limited text. Just prior to entering the army he settled on his unique characteristic for his cartoon subjects, giving them extremely large and pointy noses. After the war, his cartoons appeared in numerous publications, including the New Yorker, and the Saturday Review of Literature.
