No Women Comic Artists.

There is no doubt that the women are
invading the field Of illustration quite
as generally as any other. They dra "
landscapes. children. men. and women;
they manage cloud effects and storm
effects. waves. still water. and foliage
admirably. but there is one sort Of IL
lustration that they can't do. The
comic cut eludes them completely.
They can draw grotesquely right enough.
but comically not at all Il must be
