Bruce Guthrie has pointed out that there's a Little Golden Books exhibit at Smithsonian's Museum of American History and it includes Little Lulu book. Bruce's photographs can be seen here.
In case you're wondering about the tissues - licensing deal. Marge drew a LOT of magazine ads with Little Lulu needing Kleenex tissues.

Those darn editorial cartoons and Close to Home comic strips
Letter to the Editor: Reinforcing the stereotype of engineers and mathematicians
Washington Post November 2 2013http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/reinforcing-the-stereotype-of-engineers-and-mathematicians/2013/11/01/4b8d1a96-418c-11e3-b028-de922d7a3f47_story.html
On Oct. 26, The Post published a Free for All letter on how the media should better portray engineers and mathematicians.
Two pages later, it published a Drawing Board cartoon that reinforces the stereotype.
I guess it will take some time for media habits to change.

Letter to the Editor: 'Close to Home' strip crossed a line
Washington Post November 2 2013http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/close-to-home-strip-crossed-a-line/2013/11/01/98e83390-4004-11e3-b028-de922d7a3f47_story.html
I generally enjoy John McPherson's "Close to Home," but the Oct. 25 edition crossed the line between funny and inappropriate that comic artists frequently tread. With several recent news stories documenting teen suicides as a result of cyber-bullying, this is certainly no laughing matter.

Racist comic strip Sambo reprinted at Ghosts of DC blog
A racist comic strip "Sambo and his Funny Noises" copyrighted by Otis F. Wood from the Washington Star in 1908 is reprinted today on the Ghosts of DC blog.
I read Ghosts of DC everyday, and enjoy it. Usually it's photographs of the city.
Halloween comic from Andrew Cohen
Cartoonist Andrew Cohen has
a new, free mini-comic for Halloween. Check it out online (sample page, below).
Cohen is also the artist-in-resident tonight and Saturday morning, for the MAGIC BULLET
exhibit at Artisphere. He says he should have a few printed copies
of the new mini, “Howzit Funnies: A Light-Hearted Comic for Dim-Witted Souls,”
and some cards of “Aunt Elizabeth,” while they last.
