Jazz-related cartoons, comic strips, etc. Must be funny, or at least clever.

Some that certainly can't be googled via "jazz joke cartoon": ;)

Maybe a bit dated, but here's some mild fun from the pages of ESTRAD (1940 and early 1941):

My mom would refer to one of my girlfriends as "that flat foot floozie with the floy floy". "Floozie" was too racy, so "floogie" was substituted. Strange, because back then most people knew that the "floy floy" was slang for venereal disease. Gotta love Slim & Slam!

Very nice, your cartoons! 😄

As for the "Flot Foot Floogie" (or "Floozie"): I may be mistaken but I do remember more than one slang-laden text from the 40s (or thereabouts) where "floozie" was used to refer to an "easily wooed chick" (to put it very politely). "Straight From The Fridge Dad" (The Dictionary of Hipster Slang) by Max Decharné defines a floozie as a "tart, dancehall doll, streetwalker". But with no "race" connotations in any of these uses. Or did you use "racy" just in the sense of "explicit" ("suggestive", "lewd" or whatever ...)?
 

Didn't know about THIS meaning of "floy floy", though.

Coltrane ordering at Jack In The Box

On a recently unearthed alternate take, Coltrane chants

A soft taco supreme...

A crunchy taco supreme...

A taco supreme...

“Where's the beer opener?" (the recording aborted)
