1950's Nude Reading a Comic Oil Painting

Bought this about 10 years ago. I'm convinced it is the work of a Sundblom Studio artist like Harry Anderson, R.G. Harris, Gil Elvgren, or someone similar, like Tom Lovell, who painted this as a personal piece or as a gift for a fellow artist. The style and quality point to a major illustrator, but It will probably never be identified positively. Small, about 9 x 12" on stretched canvas.
3/12/2012- After much comparison and review, I'm beginning to feel this piece is by Tom Lovell.
