- Robert James Day (September 25, 1900 – February 7, 1985) was an American cartoonist and book illustrator.
Day studied at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles between 1919 and 1927,[2] while also on staff at the Los Angeles Times.[1]
Day was a long-time contributor to The New Yorker, with his work appearing from September 1931 to May 24, 1976, including eight covers.[1] According to Kirkus Reviews, he specialized in satirizing "[the] so-called athletic pursuits, [and also] the foibles of war and peace."[3] His All Out for the Sack Race (Random House, 1945) collected many of his New Yorker cartoons.
Day illustrated Fun Fare; a Treasury of Reader's Digest Wit and Humor. The original 1949 edition was published by Reader's Digest in collaboration with Bob Hope.[4] The original edition of Fun Fare comprised 300 pages of short comic stories illustrated in color by Day. The book was still one of the best-selling general titles three years later in 1952.[5]
