I recently picked up a copy of a book called End Papers, by a certain A. Edward Newton, who apparently accumulated a famous book collection in the ’20s. It’s a selection of literary essays and book reviews, published by Little, Brown, and Co. in 1933. I was surprised to find in it a couple of illustrations by Jimmy Hatlo, the cartoonist responsible for “They’ll Do It Every Time” and “Little Iodine.” It’s an unexpected pairing, and no explanation is given. Maybe some magazine editor was responsible.

Here are the two illustrations, as well as the covers of some of Hatlo’s paperbacks from the ’40s and ’50s.
