Description
36 unnumbered pages : chiefly illustrations, 14 x 22 cm. Cover title. "Dedicated with sincere admiration to that perfectly swell girl --the government clerk"--Page 1 "Copyright 1944 by Dorothy A. Bond"--Page 1 "These cartoons good-naturedly satirize the harried life of the World War II-era government clerk. The women portrayed by Bond ... are overworked, bothered by their bosses, rushing to catch the train, stressed by their friendships and their relationships with their mothers, and stumbling in to work in the morning after a long night out. Bond's irreverent humor is obvious in every page, especially in her parody profiles of the types of women one finds working in clerk positions ..." --Michael .R. Thompson Rare Books info sheet. First printed Sept. 1944; Library has 3rd printing, Nov. 1944. Signed by the artist on page [1]. Stapled. Illustrated cover printed in orange-red and black.
