Thanks to Captioneer Mark Schaeffer for retrieving this copy of this cartoon as it was published in 1978.
UPDATE: Thanks to Captioneer Mark Schaeffer for retrieving this copy of the cartoon as it was published in 1978. Here it is:
What can I say here? The gag was as old as the hills, even in 1967, and the newsprint color registration was horrendous, but this is an archive of my cartoons and, what the heck, “we all have to start somewhere”.
By the way, thirty years later I sold another version of this gag, with just four sales charts up on the wall. Which charts did I eliminate, and which did I change? You'll just have to wait and see.
In case you can't recognize it, that's a basketball the daughter is throwing down. This cartoon clip is from a 1967 newspaper and their color printing was badly out of register. I corrected it a little in Photoshop, but then gave it up as a lost cause.
Yes, every humor book published back in 1982 had something to do with cats — or so it seemed to me, anyway.
