Country Gentleman Magazines

 




Just like with Saturday Evening Post, these were a series of magazines alot of people seem to like. 






They aren't as much of a household name as their other magazine, but I still really like it.





They have alot of entertaining artwork in these issues. Just like with Saturday Evening Post, they sometimes make animal artwork or funny artwork.







It's like if I was watching a cartoon in the theatre back in 40s, every week there would be a Looney Tunes and MGM one. 






The best ones are the covers starring Cousin Reginald. I always imagined making a cartoon out of this guy and his friends. 






These characters are just fun to look at. When you experience them, they feel memorable, especially with the limited colors they had back then.







It's kinda disappointing that our latest generation doesn't have these type of colors, and simplicity anymore. I grew up with stuff like this and I try to not forget about it.






If any of you guys out there are looking for something entertaining and you want to be in a good place, I suggest you to look at nature videos, or interesting artwork to peak your interest. 

I watched this show lately called Antique's Road Show and it's really interesting since it showcases something unique and exicting. It may not be the most fast-paced, comedic show of all time, but it's definitely what I describe what's best with our world of today. Watching AI videos and gore will not help ya. 





The environment and living over 70 years ago, felt more calmer and warm. 




Even when at times these magazines don't go too hard with the artwork, it still looks appealing.









It's also really cool to see what people were like and what they did back in the 1920s. You may never knew that kids back then were charming troublemakers. 








And yes, those dumb theoretical professors can get a life, because color has been a thing since the universe was born and so does the artists themselves!











If your looking to know how to draw humans similar to this, then this is your time. 















This series need more recognition.
