Subject

A cartoon drawn off the show. A golfer with a plate in his hand compliments his host on the spread at a club buffet, then asks whether they could order pizza and a particular cheap beer instead. The host turns and calls out to someone to pull up the food app.

Composition

Two figures at the front of the frame in three-quarter view, with a buffet table and a chef drawn small between and behind them. The two balloons fill the entire upper half and nearly meet at the centre.

Palette

Black ink on white. No colour.

Handling

Crosshatched faces and hair against open line in the clothing, with close ruling in the background to flatten the room. The food on the table is drawn in fine stipple.

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.
