Description
Cy Hungerford Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Comics Panel Original Art (Post-Gazette, 1940s). Hungerford's innately humorous style translates well to his dead-earnest condemnation of American infighting -- industrial strikes and isolationism -- which only weakened the U.S./Allied effort to combat Axis aggression during World War II. Adolf Hitler (upper left), however, seems delighted by the self-defeating spectacle. Hungerford's big-nose/big-foot drawings fit well with his fighting-mad stance as a political cartoonist. A rehearsal sketch appears on the reverse. Hungerford titled this piece "One-Man Champion." An editorial note (lower margin) designates the cartoon as a rush job for the following Thursday's bulldog edition of the Post-Gazette. The archaic term bulldog once referred to the earliest press run of an issue, back when newspapers were produced with care and timely diligence. Ink and white watercolor over graphite on Bristol board. Image area, 12.25" x 16". Moderate toning, spot-staining, marginal tearing, and handling wear. Very Good condition.More information about Cy Hungerford. See also: Hungerford, Cy, Cyrus Cotton Hungerford, Hungerford, Cyrus Artist.
