I'd like to ask about three categories of comics ~ often single-panel ~ They would tend to be newspaper comic strips - Comics used for gambling tips, sports cartoons, and editorial cartoons!
  Gambling ones are  the most obscure category here ~ comics that delivered tips on gambling (Legal OR non-)...often literal tips, at least for horseracing!
  Two such strips, " CHING CHOW " (;ater ~ heh, heh ~ retconned into " MISTER LUCKEY "), which ran in the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, and I guess?? with the Tribune-News/Tribune Media Services syndicate - and " JOE AND ASBESTOS ". Backwards respectively, they delivered tips on the horses ~ and the illegal numbers!!!!!!!!!!! CC/ML's version would be used in conjunction with a " CHING CHOW DREAM BOOK ", which I saw in a N.Y. area store in the 80s. Looking this up, I saw that Robby Reed wrote a book on CC published in 2017. I suppose it's likely to be still copyrighted ~ Even early on? ~ I'd think J&A might not be. Other examples of this genre?
  Sports cartoons were editorial cartoon-type cartoons offering comments on the local teams fortunes, generally, appearing in the Sports section. They were once a major part of comic strips, with the National Cartoonists' Society offering them as a category in the Reubens ~ but i guess they faded away over the years. The NYDN's sports cartoonist, Bill Gallo, worked well into this millenium, dying in the saddle in 2011, I just looked it up.
  Editorial cartoons, of course, are the " STORMCLOUDS GATHERING OVER EUROPE " category of political comment/joke ~ I once, in the Cartoon Art Museum, saw an original of a cartoon with exactly that premise, literallyl showing storm clouds over Europe ~ from the OAKLAND TRIBUNE, in the late 50s, by a cartoonist named Lou Grant! People were more " literal " then ! Such old-school editorial cartoons tended to not have word baloons, too ~ Modern ones do. The " kidults " taking over? (Ha ha. Bill Maher.)
  When I was a kid, however, my family had a bunch of AMERIACN HERITAGE books, which reprinted super-elaborate double-page full-color editoons from JUDGE and PUCK (which gave its title eventually to the mid-20ths' " Puck The Comic Weekly " in Hearst newspapers), politics/culyure/humor magazines in post-Civil War America...Maybe you have examples of all of these up? Anyhow.

...I see you do have editorial cartoons, but my point about the other two genres still holds.

Not sure if this will be of interest - it's British cartoons from Punch:-

A few more from Punch:-

Many of the story papers on CB+ feature both war and sports stories - prose with accompanying illos. Have a look.
