Description
Carl Barks Miss Strippingham Gag Panel (1940s). In the beginning of his long career as a cartoonist, Carl Barks created art for a number of men's magazines. In 1934, he was drawing for the Calgary Eye Opener, and this was one of the many pieces he did for that magazine (NOTE: we've recently been alerted that this piece actually dates to the early 1940s, when Barks worked at the Disney studios). In this beautiful work, Barks has his stripper forgetting a small item of clothing; her only item in fact! The stereotyped black servant is the one breaking the news, in language Barks must have taken from an old movie: "Psst! Miss Strippingham, yo' all fo'got somethin'." Pretty racy stuff for its time. This special piece is beautifully rendered in many shades of greys and blacks. Of course, it was the Disney Ducks that made Barks famous, but here's a bit of his little-known past work, showing a bit more than might be expected from the beloved Duck Man! This piece has an image area of approximately 7" x 9.5", and it has been matted and framed to an overall size of 16" x 18.5". In Excellent condition.Auction Info
