Description: On offer, we have an original cartoon drawing "The Strange World Of Mr. Mum". Here, creator Irving Phillips has Mr. Mum confused by the Ajax Fastener Co, doorway. The black title appears to be printed and pasted on the drawing. The cartoon is hand drawn in ink and signed "Phillips". Printed and pasted on the edge is "TM "R" (in a circle) All rights reserved 1969 The Hall Syndicate Inc.". It is dated on the bottom right corner "7/31/69". The back is stamped "Jul 1 1969". On thin cardboard, this measures 14 1/2" X 11 1/2" including the margins. About the artist: "Irving Walter Phillips (1904 – 2000) was a noted American cartoonist, playwright, television scriptwriter, author, illustrator and educator. From 1958 to 1974, Phillips produced his best-known work, The Strange World of Mr. Mum, a pantomime panel which ran in 180 newspapers in 22 countries. Mr. Mum was a portly, bald and bespectacled character, who—as his name suggests—silently observed various odd, surprising or even surreal scenes. He was sometimes accompanied by his similarly silent dog. Mum was described as a "bystander on life's outer limits”. (Wikipedia) I believe this is in excellent vintage condition. The cartoon is bold and clear. There are white-out corrections in the drawing. This has a few fingerprints. As I am not an expert, please view my photographs for more description. This is from my friend who is moving to a smaller home and parting with some of his treasures. This was purchased from the Irving Phillips estate. You may be interested in viewing the other Mr. Mum comics I have on separate listings at this time. I will be happy to answer any questions and, of course, combine your shipping when possible.
