Bill Ward Gee-Whiz! #8 Illustration Original Art (Humorama, 1957).

This gag and punchline could have just as easily been a Charles Addams cartoon... "Er... I just happened to Think -- You haven't ever told me much about your husband!" We have seen a lot of lovely Bill Ward women, but this is one of the most lovely! The softness of the smile, the sharpness of her eyes, and the fall of her hair are just perfect... and, of course, as a Bill Ward woman, she is packing more curves than a Formula 1 race track! This gag was also reprinted in the May 1964 issue of Zip Comics. Created in charcoal and ink over graphite on 16.5" x 22" paper. The paper has toned, and it taped to a slightly larger Bristol board. In Very Good condition. From the Eric Sack Collection.
