I have since found several more illustrations. I still have to finetune the dates, but it seems these story illustrations appeared in the Sunday Syracuse Herald every week in the second half of 1936 until januari 1937. There are illustrated stories in earlier issues of 1936, but none by Joe Simon.I did find one sports cartoon in a januari 1937 thursday paper, but none in any of the others even though I did go through quite a few sports pages at dates ranging from 1933 to 1937. Also, I found no trace of any other illustrations (such as the political cartoons and caricatures you showed). I am gladto read that I have the right paper. Now the only thing that remains is to go through them one by one.
