I love to collect old illustrated books at resale shops and thrift stores. I love to look at them for drawing inspiration. <div>
</div><div>I love the artwork of cartoonist Harvey Kurtzman but here is a book I picked up specifically because it actually doesn’t feature any drawings, which I found odd. It’s from the early 1960s and it’s called “Who Said That?”<div>
</div><div>By the way, I also have to resell them to help support my habit so you can see a bunch of the vintage illustrated books I have in my eBay store!</div><div>

</div><div>I love that an artist who’s artwork was so popular in comic books and MAD Magazine was asked to do a satire book about celebrities of the time chose just to use photos.</div>

</div><div>The funny thing is the speech bubbles he used are still pretty stylish.</div>

</div><div>Then the artwork on the pages goes sideways for some reason?</div>

</div><div>And even at the end of the book, he had a section of pages that were basically “Hey why don’t you write your own jokes for me?” as you can see in the photo above.</div>
