Subject

A cartoon drawn off the show. A woman throws her head back laughing at the left, the laughter lettered across the whole upper left corner in repeated syllables. At the right two men watch; one observes that she is a mess, and the other answers with a single word in a hard-edged balloon.

Composition

Laughter fills the left third as lettering, the laughing figure fills the centre, and the two observers are drawn small at the right — so the sheet decreases in scale and volume from left to right and finishes on one quiet word.

Palette

Black ink on white. No colour.

Handling

The lettering is drawn in heavy outlined capitals and repeated until it becomes texture. The faces are crosshatched and the suits left open, with solid black used only in the hair.

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 beneath it.
