Description
Michael H. Price (as Sternum Spazmiller) "Gourmancy" (Nancy parody) Comic-Strip Audition Original Art (Cremo Studios, 1994-95). Price was among a few candidates invited to audition for United Features' Nancy after Jerry Scott had moved along to develop such features as Baby Blues and Zits. Price proposed a return to the style of original creator Ernie Bushmiller, with an Underground Comix attitude. "Too edgy," said the Syndicate Suits, whereupon Price made his subsequent samples even edgier. (Also auditioning were Underground Comix pioneer Gary Hallgren and neo-Underground gagman Ivan Brunetti. The assignment eventually went to Muppets cartoonists Guy and Brad Gilchrist.) This example is titled "Gourmancy", with a mock-signature of "Sternum Spazmiller". Ink and white-paint highlights over blue pencil on REGCO LGL-brand Bristol board. Image area, 15.5" x 4.5". Faint toning, and in Excellent condition. From the Michael H. Price/Cremo Studios Archive.More information about Michael H. Price. See also: Price, Michael H., Price, Michael, Michael Price Artist.
