Description
Grundeen produced the cartoon that appeared on the back cover of Sets in Order for every issue. In As I See It, Bob Osgood relates how that came about:
"I had been noticing one of the class members in particular. During the breaks between tips he'd be sitting over on the sidelines, writing. At first I thought I'd gained a spy — someone who liked my last call and was wasting no time in getting it down on paper.
"Eventually my curiosity won out and I wandered over to see what he was doing. Hoping that I wouldn't embarrass him, I looked at the pad he was working on only to see a sheet filled with sketched. Funny sketches, most of them. Drawings, or more correctly, caricatures or cartoons, depicting his classmaters in all imaginable poses and predicaments. ...
"I was at this time in the planning stages for the magaxzine when Frank Grundeen, the cartoonist I had just discovered, entered the scene. When the first issue of Sets in Order came out in November of 1948, its back cover displayed the first of the Grundeen catoons that would be a highlight of the magazine for the next thirty-seven years."
