All drawings originally appeared in The New Yorker from 1928 to 1950. Most are reprinted in The Hokinson Festival. According to memoirs in this and other books, James Mason Reid wrote nearly all of Miss Hokinson's captions beginning in 1931. Most drawings are signed Helen E. Hokinson, with occasional variations such as H. E. Hokinson.
