HOWARD
CRUSE ORIGINAL ART
Title/date/description: Untitled,
Undated Color Art: Revolutionary War
illustration “Hoop Race"
We don’t know exactly when this was created or
what it was done for, other than a Revolutionary
War era theme (note the Paul Revere joke in the
background). A character named Shambles doesn’t
know what to do with a 1776-era hoop, while a man
in a white wig with a whistle seems to be running
a hoop race.
Howard’s NY address is hand-lettered on the
reverse side, and since he and his husband Eddie
moved to Western Massachusetts in 2003, this
original pre-dates 2003. Beyond that we don’t know
anything about this piece.
Size/medium/condition: 17 x 9
inches (43.2 x 22.9 cm). Tempera
& Ink on heavy Bristol board. Excellent
condition.
Provenance: Warranted to be
authentic and from the estate of Howard Cruse, which the
DKAA agency exclusively represents.
Further reference: Howard
Cruse (1944-2019) was an
American cartoonist best
known for humor and gay themes. First coming to
attention in the 1970s during the underground
comix movement with Barefootz,
he was the founding editor of Gay Comix in
1980, created the gay-themed strip Wendel during
the 1980s, and he reached a more mainstream audience
in 1995 with his masterwork Stuck
Rubber Baby (published in an anniversary edition
in 2020 by First Second).
We have art from Cruse’s full career. If you don’t see
