Wish You Were Here, from Jimmy Swinnerton
Here's a Magic Slate card, given away by the New York American. Mr. Jack seems to be married in this card, though he was more typically portrayed as a bachelor in Swinnerton's cartoons.
It always seemed to me Jack was always married, it's just that he didn't care and chased the girls anyway. This usually provided a good reason to be belted by Mrs Jack, or anyone else for that matter.

ReplyDeleteGood point. I just assumed he was a lecher, not a philanderer.
