Provenance: This original art is warranted to be from the artist's personal collection (Stack is exclusively represented by this agency). The art comes with a letter of authenticity upon request. See "bio" section for information on Frank Stack (a.k.a. Foolbert Sturgeon), one of the very earliest and most important of the underground cartoonists.

Size/medium/condition/price: Drawn in brush, pen and ink, on lightweight drawing paper 11 1/2 inches wide by 17 1/2 inches high. All the text is pasted into each of the balloons. Other than that flaw, it's very clean overall. The top of the art is hinge-mounted with archival tape to a professionally cut mat measuring 16 inches wide x 20 inches high. $300.
