Description
Gary Larson The Far Side Daily Comic Strip Original Art dated 1-4-83 (Chronicle Features 1983). Attention, comic strip art collectors, here's a super-scarcity -- since Gary Larson keeps most of his Far Side originals, examples rarely appear in the marketplace. This is only the second example Heritage has offered to date. The caption for this laugh-riot reads, "Well, well...Looks like it's time for the old luggage test." This cartoon is a "call back" to the popular American Tourister TV ads where the luggage is "baggage handled" by some rowdy gorillas. This daily has an approximate image area of 6" x 7.5", and aside from some yellowed Zipatone the art is in Excellent condition. Also included in this lot is a second Gary Larson drawing, done in ink on illustration board, with an overall size of 8.5" x 11", and this piece is in Very Good condition. Both of these pieces are accompanied by a 1983 letter of provenance from the Chronicle Features and the original mailing envelope, making for solid provenance.Auction Info
