The Smokers Companion April 1927. I initially bought this magazine for the article about Anne Nichols ( my cousin). Then I discovered that this magazine is quite rare. I cannot find another one of these for any month year, except for one with the male counterpart to this listed for sale at a very high price. I love the cover!
There is a cartoon in this issue entitled “They Do”. I would very much like to see it. My email is gumball@teleport.com
I also have issue three. I am a collector of Mahlon Blaine, who had cartoons in issues Volume 1 issues 1 to 6 and Volume 2 issue 1. Those are the ones that I know of. If the magazine went further than that, there may be more. I published a book on Blaine’s artwork and want to publish an expanded version including these. I’d love to either get this issue, or even a good photocopy. I understand that the New York library has a collection them, but you have to arrange a visit beforehand and you have to view them on site.
To clarify, I just need the one page.
i did not realize it had that many issues. I had no idea that Blaine did the cartoons. I am very familiar with Blaine. Do you have a complete issue 2?
My book is The Outlandish Art of Mahlon Blaine, but it has no SC cartoons. I didn’t know about them when I published it back in 2009. That version of the book is 464 pages, but the expanded version I want to publish currently stands at 1200+ pages including a color supplement. The book you want with small graphics from SC is One Eyed Visionary by major Blaine collector/historian Roland Trenary. He’s a great guy and I’m sure he’d love to sell another copy. The hardcover version is currently discounted on Amazon.
