" I for one definitely appreciate this; and almost bid. But, it's hard for me to know what to do with a prelim. It is a cool piece of history, but not sure how it fits on the wall all framed up. At least my wall. I'm not dogging on it, in fact, I figured I would never see another Stanley prelim as they are incredibly rare. Funny, I most likely would have bought it if it were unframed.. Would be nice to see if this was from a published page or if it exists because it had not been used yet. "
Dan, you *definitely* didn't need it. You have more than enough cool John Stanley/Tripp pieces already. You should leave some of the scraps for the rest of us! This is more like a place holder until an early inked piece drops in my lap (yes, fat chance).
Still, it's nice to see what those Little Lulu articles mean when they talk about Stanley's sketch scripts.
I'm too lazy to check through the Little Lulu library to see if this was ever turned into a published story. I didn't see it on a quick flip through.
Another funny thing about this prelim - Lulu looks like she's wearing pants but that's just in the nature of the sketching process.
