Of course our man Bolles would have his own special take on today's celebration. This issue appeared in 1931 and was one of a surprisingly large number of covers that featured food along with the Bolles girl. It may have something to do with Enoch's long-standing side gig as a food illustrator. Starting in the mid-1020s he produced dozens of full-color ads for magazines and trolley cards featuring food items rendered with as much luscious attention as he gave to his Film Fun girls. His consumable commissions ranged from candy, to raisins, to cigars and over the next few weeks I'll be featuring a number of them.
