From THE NEIGHBORS by George Clark: kid to Dad: "I'll fill you in on the plot, Dad. The bunny keeps socking clownie on the schnozzle." Date of publication: 11/30/64
George Clark (1902-1981) drew THE NEIGHBORS, a syndicated newspaper panel, from 1939 to 1976. The feature won a National Cartoonists Society Division Award for Best Newspaper Panel in 1961. Known for his confident, breezy style, here are a few close ups of his originals.
These are for sale, for the next day or so.
"Dad always gives the same advice to everyone -- 'I wouldn't go out on a limb if I were you.'"
Wonderful brushwork, with a graying effect by moving a dry brush over slightly pebbled bristol.
"I'm afraid your mother was right, dear. I DON'T make enough to support a wife and family."
"I could throw a tantrum and get to go to your house. But I'm saving that for something more important."
