The Saturday Evening Post is an American magazine, currently published six times a year. It was issued weekly under this title from 1897 until 1963, then every two weeks until 1969. From the 1920s to the 1960s, it was one of the most widely circulated and influential magazines within the American middle class, with fiction, non-fiction, cartoons and features that reached two million homes every week (from Wiki). Among its regular cover artists was Albert Staehle (1899-1974), who painted 26 covers for the Post. Of those, 25 featured his mischievous black and white Cocker Spaniel, Butch. As it is 20 years ago almost to the day that we got our own Cocker Spaniel Jazz (sadly no more with us of course), I'm making this a post about these covers - providing no additional information under each.
