Jack Davis - Original Panel Page Art for Humbug #7, page 9 (Humbug Publications, circa 1958).
After Harvey Kurtzman left
Mad
magazine, he later launched his own magazine of satire,
Humbug
, which lasted but 11 issues. Here, he teams with one of his favorite collaborators in comedy, artist Jack Davis. Featured in this top-notch example is Davis' mastery of caricature utilizing his renowned fine pen and ink cross-hatching. The type is on photostatted strips which have been pasted atop the art board. Fragments of the type have fallen off in panels one and two. The art board is 14.5" x 20" with an image area of 12. 5" x 16". Production notes indicate that this is page 9 of
Humbug
#7. A side-splitting parody of the stereotypical rich Texan golfing with his caddy.
