Description
Original pen-and-ink comic strip artwork on two sheets of illustration paper, comprising a four-panel strip titled “In Business It’s Timing” and a companion single-panel drawing, credited in a typed byline to cartoonist Stan Fine. The four-panel sequence follows two children with snow shovels working a wintry sidewalk, building toward a comic timing gag, while the single panel repeats the scene with the caption “Want your sidewalk shoveled, Lady.” Signature/marking present as shown; attribution not verified. Inquire for details.
Each sheet carries typewritten dialogue captions affixed to the page — “Get ready.”, “NOW!”, and “Want your sidewalk shoveled, Lady.” — along with hand-inked panel numbers running 1 through 5. The artwork is executed in black ink over visible blue pencil underdrawing, with a pen signature reading “Stan Fine” in the lower right of the single-panel sheet. Faint ghosting from a separate strip shows through the reverse of one sheet, consistent with production-stage cartoon art handled and stored alongside other pages.
Both sheets show age-toning to a warm cream color, with noticeable brown staining concentrated along the lower edge and lower right corner. Light creasing and a few small edge nicks are present, but the paper remains intact with no tears, and the ink lines throughout stay crisp and unfaded.
