Stinging Wit From Bennett Cerf Era Cartoon
A 1954 Bennett Cerf strip satirizes a stingy codger famed for thrift in wartime and peacetime. The piece mocks frugality through absurd antics such as conserving electricity and gas, sharing odd anecdotes about his cravats, cards, and a chauffeur, then shifts to a playful scene with a young couple at dinner and a TV wrestling quip.
