Art on the back: 1959

1959 was another fun year for cartoons on the backs of Topps baseball cards.

Players with college experience were still enough of a novelty to warrant a cartoon. The cartoonist found a variety of different themes for college life.

Not all cartoons were positive.
Here's a couple of headscratchers, I can't figure out what either cartoon has to do with the caption.

A few more miscellaneous fun cartoons.

  1. Bob Smith the pitcher got Bobby Gene Smith the outfielder's 1959 cartoon!

  2. I think college kids were still somewhat looked down on by the vets in 1959 too.
