    Jules Pfeiffer-the tire swing
    I'm looking for a Jules Pfeiffer cartoon depicting the demise of an idea for a tire swing as it moved from what the customer wanted through various departments such as research, design, engineering, marketing until it went into production and came out looking nothing like the original concept. Does anyone know where I can find this 6-8 panel cartoon?

    I know this is an old question, but it came up on Another forum and they found several versions of "Tree Swing".

    BTW, I once knew a "LWhiteside", though odds are that you are someone else. South Jersey, CHS class of '72?

    Great find! Thank you. I think it is a great illustration of the difficulty trying help people with their problems here and elsewhere. I liked the more engineering oriented version I remember, but that one gets the point across very well.

    The Tire Swing
    PRR - Thank you, thank you, thank you. I remember the version with the less precise drawings. I am an elementary school teacher and my mind continually retrieves the memory of it when searching for an analogy for what's happening to public education (especially here in California). Despite comments to the contrary, I distinctly remember the inimmitable Jules Pfeiffer signature, but the way may memory's been working lately...
    P.S. I grew up in CA and my maiden name was Silver
