Description

Bill Holman Smokey Stover Sunday Comic Strip with Spooky Companion Strip Original Art dated 9-3-44 (Chicago Tribune-NY News Syndicate, 1944). Smokey Stover was to comic strips what Spike Jones was to classical music. Bill Holman believed every panel should have a gag of its own, so check them closely for such gems as "Sleeping Booty", and the "Pants to Match Your Goat". This piece was created in ink over graphite on two pieces of conjoined Bristol board with an image area of 24" x 16.25" (including companion strip). The board is lightly toned, with some glue residue stains where the two pieces of board meet. The logo is a toned printed paste-up. Overall, in Very Good condition. From the Ray Edw Collection.
