- Witold Dobrowolski. Publications in "Szpilki": Witold Dobrowolski was a cartoonist collaborating with the satirical weekly "Szpilki" (especially in the 1950s and 1960s). His works fit into the classic style of the Polish school of caricature of that period.
- Signature "w.d.": Indeed, this artist often used a simplified signature in the form of lowercase letters "w.d.", which was a common practice among press cartoonists of those years (similar to, e.g., Zbigniew Lengren sometimes signing with initials).
- Museum of Caricature: Works by Witold Dobrowolski are in the collections of the Eryk Lipiński Museum of Caricature in Warsaw. This institution holds original satirical drawings published in "Szpilki", documenting the output of this artist alongside such famous names as Eryk Lipiński or Julian Żebrowski.
- Themes: As a cartoonist for "Szpilki", Dobrowolski dealt with social satire, often commenting on the absurdity of everyday life, bureaucracy, and interpersonal relations in the realities of the Polish People's Republic.
