1930's Walt Waggoner

6110 Street Sweeper

This is another cartoon from the early 1930's. In several of Dad's sketches, he depicts a little man with a push cart cleaning the streets. Like most (or all) of us, I have never seen the real thing. Studying the Spanish Flu pandemic the other day, I ran across a photo of a New York City sanitation worker from 1918. It was eerily similar to the one here. After viewing Walt's cartoons since I was a child, it was neat to finally see what the real thing looked like to my father.
