Item Description
Thin artboard has been matted to 6x18.75”. Four-panel pen and ink illustration dated December 20, 1963. Characters Pogo and Churchey LaFemme sit and contemplate peace. Last panel has 1963 copyright and Walt Kelly signature. Bottom margin has black ink inscription “Best To Jim Whiting – Walt Kelly.” Whiting was a fellow cartoonist. Strip has even aging and a 1/8” spot of moisture stain on third panel, not affecting characters. Few small moisture stains affect margin but are hidden by mat. Image/inscription area is Fine/VF. Typical of Kelly’s practice of saving his original art and giving examples to fellow cartoonists.
