Very nicely drawn. The stories are kind of strange, what with Mr and Mrs Goose being the only animals in a world of humans. Here is a bio of the artist, found on the Vose Galleries site:

Morris H. Pancoast (1877-1963). Today, Morris Hall Pancoast is recognized primarily for his depictions of the New England shore, though the artist was successful as both a painter and an illustrator during his lifetime. Born in Salem, New Jersey in 1877, he began taking evening classes at age twenty at the Pennsylvania Academy, where he studied under Thomas Anshutz (1851-1912) until 1900. His education later took him to Paris in 1902 where he continued training at the Académie Julian under Jean Paul Laurens (1838-1921). Following three years of study in Europe, Pancoast returned to the United States where he worked as an illustrator for the Philadelphia Inquirer from 1905-1907 and as a cartoonist at the North American from 1907 to 1919. The artist and his wife moved to New York City in the 1920s, though the couple spent their summers in Rockport, Massachusetts, where she managed their “Studio Gallery by the Sea.” Pancoast became a frequent exhibitor at the Pennsylvania Academy in 1911, where he would continue to show until 1934. His work was also displayed during this time at the Brooklyn Museum and the National Academy of Design.
