Life Drawing Sunday XII: J.M. Flagg's "Why They Married"


James Montgomery Flagg in 1915.

These drawings are all from September and October of 1906. I'm assuming that Flagg wrote the verse also. I don't know how many issues this series ran in. I wish I had more of them. (And, is it just me or does one of those husbands look a lot like E. G. Marshall?)

UPDATE, 8/30/08: Google Books has a copy of Flagg's "Why They Married" available for download in PDF. Unfortunately, they did an inexcusably crappy job with some of the scanning.

Further UPDATE: Project Guttenberg has a better version here.
