HUMORAMA-STYLE ART GAG CARTOON PAGE WITH MORK AND MINDY PARODY AND GGA By BILL WARD.

This Auction Includes:
 THIS ONE COMBINES WARD'S MASTERY OF THE FEMALE FORM WITH INSIGHT INTO THE POP CULTURE OF THE DAY, SPOTLIGHTING ONE OF THE GREAT TALENTS OF MY GENERATION, WHO PASSED AWAY RECENTLY, FAR TOO SOON...ROBIN WILLIAMS.  PLUS IT ALSO FEATURES THE LEERING ICONIC MASCOT OF CRACKED, SYLVESTER P. SMYTHE, AND EVER-POPULAR CHEESECAKE HUMOR, WITH HEADLIGHTS LARGER THAN LIFE, AS MORK APPEARS TO TELL HER TO CHANGE INTO SKIMPY SILK NEGLIGEE INSTEAD OF THE SKIN-TIGHT MINIDRESS!  NOTE THE BUSTY BABE LOOKS JUST LIKE TORCHY, BUT IN THIS ROLE SHE IS THE INTREPID REPORTER NANNY DICKERING.  AND REMEMBER, ONLY THE MORK AND MINDY PARODY ISSUE OF THIS FAMOUS SERIES WOULD STAR ROBIN WILLIAMS, AND NOT EVERY ISSUE OF MAD OR CRACKED WAS LADEN WITH GOOD GIRL ART EITHER, SO TO COMBINE BOTH HOT ELEMENTS, ALONG WITH THE COLORFUL CRACKED COUNTERPART TO ALFRED E. NEUMAN, THE JANITOR AND COVER ICON SINCE CRACKED #1, ALONG WITH THE ARTIST THAT IS ONE OF THE KINGS OF GOOD GIRL ART, KNOWN FOR BOMBSHELLS JUST LIKE THIS ONE SHOWN HOLDING THE MICROPHONE, ABOUT TO LEARN THE ORIGIN OF MORK STRAIGHT FROM ROBIN WILLIAMS AS MORK FROM ORK, IS A RARE FIND INDEED.  BOTH 'TORCHY' (NANNY DICKERING) AND MORK ARE SHOWN WITH GIGANTIC SPECTACULAR FULL FIGURE DEPICTIONS THAT ARE TALLER THAN THE WHOLE COVER OF AN OLD COMIC BOOK!  THIS IS A MASTERPIECE THAT COULD BE THE CERTERPIECE OF MANY A COLLECTION.
 
Original Art, for Cracked Magazine, circa late 1970's, published in the May, 1980, Cracked spoofing MORK and MINDY, issue #168, story full splash page.  'Trademark' BILL WARD, the legendary artist renowned for such cheesecake humor, as seen in countless men's magazines including Six to Sexty, Humorama, plus his comic-book work such as Torchy and in Cracked mag's...  Some would assert that the microphone held by the buxom reporter on this page is a provocative visual double entendre as it looks like a sex toy, and I agree it does look rather suggestive, so I will let you judge if it's truly sexual innuendo or just phallusy...?  The size is HUGE, a whopping 14.5" x 18.5", and Ward's amazing ornate work runs almost up to the edges, giving it a massive image area, and making it a tremendous stand-alone work of art, worthy of  prominent display in an advanced collection, with great use of wash, graphite, intricate crosshatching, and India ink detail work. 
 
GREAT SHADING AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL.
 
 Hand drawn artwork by WARD, the talent and proficiency is clearly evident, this is a real showpiece!

It's in nice shape, with some creasing and edge wear, but that's mainly confined to the blank white margins except for some corner creasing that's visible at the bottom right, through the depiction of the old army hand-grenade; the paper itself remains very clean and supple and well preserved.  There are some light blueline circles in the center to designate the areas where word balloons would eventually appear, but this piece is PURE original art, and there is no text or pasteovers of any kind.  Please examine all of the pictures, one shows it with a random comic for scale but of course no comics are included, this is for the original art only, which would be especially impressive framed. Lines are clear and bold.
