Treasure Trove of Vintage Wodehouse Illustrations!

OMG you guys, OMG OMG OMG! Remember my series of vintage Wodehouse illustration posts? (The last one I did is here, and I think that has links to all of them.)

Check it out.

Believe it or not, I think I have actually found an illustrator who has an even worse grasp of what Bertie is supposed to look like than old Skidmore.  Meet Tony Sarg, illustrator of a couple Jeeves and Bertie stories published in the Saturday Evening Post. Yep . . . Bertie is the slouchy one with the glasses.

I’ve never drawn a human before, or let me say ‘I did’ but it didn’t look like one! Please let me know if they’re at least “okay”
