Subject

A cartoon drawn off the show, restaging the Creation of Adam. Two bearded men in caps reach toward each other across the sheet, fingers almost touching — but between them, reclining on a winged form, is a woman, and the figure at the right makes clear who he has actually come for. A Rumble sign hangs on the wall behind.

Composition

The famous gesture is laid out across the full width with the two hands meeting at the centre, and the reclining figure placed directly beneath that point so she interrupts it. The sign occupies the gap above.

Palette

Black ink on white. No colour.

Handling

Solid brushed black along the bottom and behind the heads, with the wings and hair drawn in long flicked strokes. The sign is lettered as a hanging board with its own grain drawn in.

Medium and support

Ink on paper, drawn as a cartoon for the show.

Signature

Lettered ROTC TOONS at the lower right with the artist's name and a date in MMDDYY beneath it.
