    GARY HALLGREN (1945-) Fritzi Ritz painting: “GUESS WHAT I’M WEARING (NONE)?”

    Hallgren created a trilogy of “Guess What I’m Wearing” paintings” featuring Nancy’s Aunt Fritzi. This one (“None”) parodies one of his other parodies (“Nun”). If you ever fantasized about seeing Fritzi Ritz nude, your dream is at last fulfilled. A 15 x 20-inch acrylic painting on stiff board mounted on ¼-inch foam board and shrink-wrapped. Painted in March 2015 and signed by the artist.

    About the artist: Gary Hallgren’s illustrations have appeared in The New York Times, MAD, The Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, and National Lampoon (his Pinocchio cover for the Lampoon is an all-time classic). And he illustrated all of the best-selling books by Dr. Mehmet Oz. But he's probably best known as a key member of the infamous “Air Pirates.” Hallgren teamed with Dan O'Neill, Ted Richards, Bobby London, and Shary Flenniken to produce two notorious issues of Air Pirates Funnies, which contained X-rated parodies of Mickey & Minnie Mouse, causing the Walt Disney organization to unleash its army of lawyers on the unruly underground cartoonists. The battle went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled 9-0 in favor of Disney. Hallgren currently paints personal visions of his favorite comics, especially “Nancy & Sluggo," he collects vintage Studebakers, and he ghosts one of America's most famous syndicated newspaper strips
