Dated 1971 this cartoon is signed stark and looks familair as al lget out

Thanks Rob for the ID! This is 1970's drug humor as this was the period where it was thought you could get high from scraping and smoking banana peels. Odd that Bruce Stark did not come up in any of the google searches I did.
Need to go back t ochecking the old illustration annuals I have that were done for art directors
Now anybody know where it appeared?

George, I don't believe the name is Stack, but Stark. It looks to be the work of Bruce Stark, the old NY area sports cartoonist. I'm pretty sure that's his sig. I think the monkey is holding what's left of a banana, rather than a joint. Best, Rob

that's Stark and Jack Davisy sort of cartoonist. He was good. Usually worked in color. He was in Playboy, TV guide, and I think one or two times in Mad.
