Gag cartooning[edit]

Sherman drew gag cartoons for magazines, including College Laughs. During the 1950s, he created cartoons for cocktail napkins published by Monogram of California. His napkin sets include Double Feature, which was two-panel cartoons, one on the outside of the napkin, one that appeared when it was unfolded (1955);[5] Little Friar, gags about a friar (1956); and Nudeniks, cartoons about nudists (1958).[6][7][8]


During the 1960s, he expanded the Little Friar and the Nudeniks material each into their own full paperback of cartoons.[9] He also drew Alley Whoops! (1962), a book of bowling cartoons, Pennant Laffs (1963), a book of punch-out humorous pennants, and Fishing for Laughs (1964), a volume of fishing cartoons.
