(Your Moment of Friday Writing Zen)

Every week, I spelunk into the Writer's Digest archives to find the wisest, funniest, or downright strangest moments from our 92 years of publication.

This week, here’s an array of vintage writer cartoons/writer comics from 1952 (which was a delightfully writer-joke–heavy year for the magazine).

Happy Friday!
