Description
Original pen-and-ink cartoon artwork on paper presents a four-panel boxing gag strip titled “Glass Jaw,” hand-lettered at the top of the sheet. The artist uses bold black outlines filled with gray wash shading to build a sequence of comic action — a boxer training with a punching bag, taking a swing, and ultimately getting knocked flat, with motion lines and impact marks adding energy to each scene.
The sheet is worked on both sides: panels one and two appear on the recto, with panels three and four continuing the gag on the verso. Faint ghosting of the reverse panels and the “Glass Jaw” title bleeds through onto the front, a common trait of vintage illustration paper. Each panel is numbered by hand in the upper corner, suggesting the sheet was laid out as a submission or proof for a syndicated strip or magazine cartoon.
The paper shows scattered foxing and rust-toned age spotting concentrated along the edges, along with overall mellowing of the white ground consistent with age. Corners show light wear and soft creasing, and a small edge nick is visible along the right border. No tears run into the artwork itself, and the ink and wash lines remain crisp and fully intact throughout.
