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

Subject

A cartoon drawn off the show. A blond figure in a pale suit spreads both hands and tells the bearded man opposite that frankly, nobody is going to believe him as a pilot and his excuses are coming up a little short.

Composition

Two standing figures facing each other across the sheet with the balloon bridging the gap above them, and nothing drawn behind either. The speaker is given the open gesture and the listener is given nothing to do, which is the joke.

Palette

Black ink on white. No colour.

Handling

Open contour with hatching confined to the hair and the beard, so two caricatures carry the whole sheet. One word in the balloon is drawn in heavy outlined capitals.

Medium and support

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

Signature

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

From the artist:

Drawn off the show.
