“Before and After”
In "Before and After," Lemuel’s morning takes a wild turn when he misplaces his keys, leading to a dramatic (and slightly ridiculous) window-breaking entrance to his own home—only to discover the front door was never locked to begin with. A classic slice-of-life mishap with a perfectly timed punchline, this 1953 Harvey gem captures the humor of everyday absurdity in a crisp, typeset lettering style.
