April 18, 2018 -- VotST, We're Back!

April 8, 2018 -- VotST, the Hollywood Actress

Screw Stanislavsky:

April 6, 2018 -- VotST, Golf Gag

Keller seemed to produce more golf-related gags than any other "sport."

April 5, 2018 -- VotST, Zinger!

Actually, this one is pretty good:

March 28, 2018 -- Slight VotST

March 25, 2018 -- the Women and Speeding Tickets Gag

I have, as already posted, about a dozen of Keller's women receiving speeding tickets gags. Here's another:

March 23, 2018 -- "Could I get a refund?"

March 21, 2018 -- VotST, 1950s Version

March 18, 2018 -- Return of the VotST

March 17, 2018 -- Revenge of the VotST

March 14, 2018 -- Switching Gears

March 12. 2018 -- VotST XVI

March 11, 2018 -- VotST XV... the Dregs

... and some are just plain awful:

March 10, 2018 -- VotST XIV

March 9, 2018 -- VotST XIII

March 8, 2018 -- VotST XII

March 5, 2018 -- VotST XI

March 4, 2018 -- VotST X

March 3, 2018 -- VotST IX

March 2, 2018 -- VotST VIII

March 1, 2018 -- VotST VII

February 25, 2018 -- Army Humor

After a bit of a break, The Daily Reamer is back. Here's an army gag of more jowl-flapping, pot-bellied men:

February 21, 2018 -- An Omen of America's Future?

February 19, 2018 -- VotST, Part VI

And these 1950s sexist, silly, sophomoric gags keep coming...

February 17, 2018 -- VotST Part V

February 15, 2018 -- A Political Keller Gag?

This is likely to be a very rare mixing of my two blogs, "Brian's Reclamation Project," and this space devoted to the work of cartoonist, Reamer Keller.

Of the thousands of original cartoons I have of Reamer Keller's, this one touches upon the political -- a pronounced statement of simplemindedness.

February 14, 2018 -- For Today, a Valentine-ish Sentiment (of Keller-ish Sorts)

Two almost identical gags by Reamer Keller... separated by, at least, 30 years:

February 12, 2018 -- VotST, Part IV

Note the pencilled "Used News" on the lower middle part of the cartoon gag. Keller gently scrawled notes directly on his works after they had been sold to publications so as, I suspect, not to accidentally reuse gags. After all, he was capable of producing dozens of gags per week. Not sure which News this "Used News" is... but I'll update as soon as I find out.

February 11, 2018 -- A Neanderthalensis Shadchanit

Yup:

February 8, 2018 -- VotST, Part III

Note how jowly all these men are:

February 7, 2018 -- Variations on the Same Theme, Redux

I'm in the midst of a run of 50s sexists cartoons -- enough single-page gags to occupy every day of the year. Henceforth, I will label them "VotST Posts," for "Variations on the Same Theme."

February 6, 2018 -- Variations on the Same Theme: Male Fantasy

February 5, 2018 -- More of Keller's 1950s "Male" Humor...

February 3, 2018 -- Another Early Kennesaw

January 31, 2018 -- Keller's "Men's Magazine" Nudes

As far as my collection shows, from the 50s through the late 80s, Reamer Keller was illustrating gags for the many "girlie" magazines. This is a sample of a piece that would've appeared in one of the many humor-bent publications marketed to "men."

January 28, 2018 -- Keller's King Size Cocktail Napkins

In the early 50s, Reamer Keller produced a series of naughty, politically (very!) incorrect cocktail napkins. Here's a sampling:





And here's a penciled sample of an original, irreverent illustration. Not sure if this was ever used:
