Pat Oliphant - Pencil Prelim for 1982 Reagan Political Cartoon

This pencil prelim was used in preparation for an Oliphant cartoon published on February 28, 1982, and features President Reagan during the Budget Roundup at the Double-R, with the budget cattle running away. Lovely pencil work in the drawing. Love the rambling line. The published image can be seen as an additional image.

9/2/18 addendum: I wrote to Oliphant, asking if I could send this prelim and the other to be signed. I enclosed photocopies of the pieces. Months later, he sent back the photocopies, signed. Ah well. Provenance.
