Another sketchbook exploration through the subconscious.. this time drawn with a red felt-tip marker.

The Farmer’s Daughter & The Traveling Salesman – Vintage Comic Book by Irv Spector

The Farmer’s Daughter in
“The One About The Traveling Salesman” by Irv Spector

Issue #1 Feb/Mar 1954 Stanhall Publications …and that’s just the first story in the book!

 Some really wild poses and very lively brushwork, too.

Note from CartoonSnap reader Dave O'Dell:

"It looks like this was a collaboration between Irv Spector and Bill Williams with Williams drawing the female character and Spector everything else. Williams also worked on several other Stanhall books at the same time including Oh, Brother and G.I. Jane."

Thanks, Dave!
