Here's a one-of-a-kind piece of original pen and ink comic strip art by Fred Negro, artist, singer, Collingwood Magpies tragic, and unofficial mayor of the St Kilda music scene. 

This particular piece was the 1st episode of Fred's "Footy Mouth" cartoon strip published in the notorious TRUTH NEWSPAPER in Melbourne in 1990. Football Mouth is Fred's most beloved character, a beer-swilling, foul-mouthed, Collingwood Magpies supporter. 

Fred is an artist, singer, cartoonist, advertising man and maven of the scene for over 40 years 

A gifted and highly trained cartoonist and graphic artist, Fred created the PUB cartoon strip that chronicled the history of ratbags and musicians in Inpress magazine. Thirty-three years and still going strong.

Barely known outside his hometown, Fred's profile is increasing due the the upcoming doco about him, PUB: THE MOVIE. Awareness of Fred will increase demand for his work. Here's an opportunity to get in one the ground floor and own a one-of-a-kind piece of Australian cartooning history. 

Size is 140mm x 160mm.

From 1993.
