Description
'The Captain's Gig' c.1977 original comic strip by Virgil (VIP) Partch


From Wikipedia:
Virgil Franklin Partch (October 17, 1916 – August 10, 1984), who generally signed his work Vip,[1] was an American gag cartoonist. His work appeared in magazines of the 1940s and 1950s, and he created the newspaper comic strips Big George and The Captain's Gig. He published 19 books of illustrations and drew art for children's books.

Partch drew the successful syndicated comic strip Big George and created the strip, The Captain's Gig (about a motley bunch of mariners and castaways), syndicated by Field Enterprises. 

Partch retired from cartooning in January 1984, and donated his collection of 3,700 original cartoons to the University of California, Irvine library. Partch and his wife died in an auto accident August 10, 1984, on Interstate 5 near Valencia, California.
