Being a reckless spendthrift fool I blew 9 bucks (including delivery to England) on this hand inked "postcard". It is actually just about a postcard size and not one at all. Description was:
"Small 1947 Pen and Ink Cartoon Illustration by "Bill Hall" Not sure what it is all about, but here it is. Measures about 5 x 3 inches, original art, condition is good, NO creases."
I bought it as I was also unsure what it is about. I guess it's Year End 1947 ... I think that Pete the Pup MAY NOT be the dog from "Our Gang" as he has no circle around the eye and Our Gang finished 3 years before. I cannot find any trace of "Bill Hall". You can vaguely see the pencil marks beneath and it is quite intricately done, so Bill Hall was no slouch and I guess the guy with the cigar is a "real" person.
Any ideas about who/what/why? And I mean ANY ideas, would be gratefully received!
