# Monthly Devoted to Cartoons

The Cartoon is the latest in the magazine
line. 1t is published monthly in Boston.
Frank Crane, it's editor, enters into lengthy
apology for it's existence, which seems quite
unnecessary. The first number justifies its
right to exist, and gives promise Of long
and interesting life. The Cartoon reproduces
the best of the American newspaper cartoons
of the month. The selections are we'll chosen,
the reproductions perfect and the editorial
comment just enough and not too much. In
the first issue there are thirty-five cartoons
from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, De-
troit, Minneapolis and St. Paul papers. They
present effectively the history of the month
in picture form A better cents worth is
not offered
The first number gives a concise history
of cartoon development. Naturally, it dWells
largely on Thomas Mast, who is presented
the father of the cartoon in this country,
but who will not father all the cartoonists.s
Some of his early cartoons are reproduced,
together with some history of the man and
