As you can see from previous posts on Willard Mullin (see links at bottom), he was the master at drawing sports cartoons that had a breakneck and electrified sense of life. But it wasn't just athletes that received this treatment...Willard Mullin could infuse even the most mundane activity with the breath of life.

These scans are the last batch from the book, "It Beats Working."

The previous sets of boxing, baseball, football and horse-racing cartoons from the same book are linked at the bottom of this post.
