Gene Mack Cartoons

The joys of looking through the old newspapers

Gene Mack Cartoons

One of the best parts about reading through old newspapers is looking at some of the great sports cartoons that time has forgotten.

Gene Mack was a great illustrator for The Boston Globe from the 1920s through the 1950s. While some of his drawings have been preserved in publications like Take Me Out To The Ballpark, most of his work has been forgotten.

Here are just a few that I’ve clipped so far, all from The Boston Globe:

June 6, 1949

June 19, 1949

June 20, 1949

June 22, 1949

June 23, 1949

June 26, 1949

June 27, 1949

June 30, 1949

And I’m pretty sure there are more where those came from.
