E.L. WHITE

More cartoony (those big eyes would be the envy of any anime character) than many of his peers, E. L. White excelled at portraying spirited, super-sized women. White's heroines have a childlike exuberance ("I'm enjoying myself like a kid again!" one full-breasted figure brags while in the throes of holiday excitement) that makes for a neat contrast to the standard vacation postcard punchlines. The jackass punchline below may be misogynist, but the delightful figure riding through the picture almost makes you ignore it.

The female figure in the center card below is not its main focus, but I like this pic because it encourages me to imagine that White's regular use of fat femmes was due to a personal connection on his part (note the wife's word balloon).
