Proceeds support homebound kids, thank you.

The history of The ME-WORRY KID dates back to the late 1800s however most now recognize this portrait as being the singular-figure of Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine: this isn't that, but a fragment of "Alfred's" unusual and colorful past.

This particular "suitable for framing" portrait was framed in Portland, Oregon. The frame is wood, portrait is under glass and the final piece measures 8 11/16" x 10 11/16".

This piece includes a copyright of P-S Co. so it is possible (but not "for sure") that this particular image was part of the unsuccessful lawsuit against Mad Magazine for copyright infringement in allegedly using "Alfred" without permission.

The court found that the long and varied history of the ME-WORRY KID voided any copyright claim; Mad Magazine made enough subtle changes to the original image to successfully create their iconic (and protected) Alfred E. Neuman.

This item was purchased in a rare-books store mid-1980s, a true treasure and ready to hang in a place of honor (the bathroom would make sense). 

Thanks for checking this out.
