Like this image? I can make something like this for you.

Subject

A cartoon drawn off the show. Two people lean in cheek to cheek for a holiday photograph — one in dark glasses with a cigarette and a Bad Luck Boys lanyard, the other with long hair and a broad smile — while a third in a cap crowds into the frame behind them. The words Las Vegas Vacation are lettered large across the lower half.

Composition

The heads are drawn right up against the picture plane and cropped at the top, exactly as a phone held at arm's length would frame them, with the hand-lettered title filling the space beneath their chins.

Palette

Black ink on white. No colour.

Handling

Solid black in the hair and the glasses against open line in the faces, and the lettering drawn in a loose script with a long flourish running under it.

Medium and support

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

Signature

No signature visible within the drawn area.
