The Unidentified Flying Elephant – pt. 2
- – Here’s the last half of Whitney Darrow Jr.s book, The Unidentified Flying Elephant. (To view Part 1, go here.)
The book is a gem from Darrow who was a longtime cartoonist for The New Yorker Magazine. Perhaps in an upcoming post I should showcase some of those cartoons. I have a number of them lying about the studio. His brilliant laine work makes it a learning lesson just to view them.
This book comes courtesy of Bill Peckmann, and I’m most grateful.
Hope you enjoy it.

As a bonus, here’s a clip from The Saturday Evening Post circa 1960.

Darrow is a genius! He makes it seem so easy, as if anyone with crayons and ink could do it, but you know that’s not true.
