King Features Syndicate “Laff-A-Day”, December 20, 1977
This is another cartoon that King Features Syndicate bought, in 1977, and then asked me to do a finished drawing from my “rough”. I didn’t make a copy of the rough drawing that KFS bought, nor the finished drawing, and I do not have a tearsheet of the printed cartoon. All I know is that it was scheduled to be published in newspapers on December 20, 1977. The above drawing is an older version of the gag, which I picked up from my files, and the printed cartoon may or may not look like this. I haven’t given up hope of seeing the printed cartoon some day, and when that happens, I’ll update this post.
