Richard Oldden: Fighting Over a Fish

An alert mermaid armed with a fly swatter is prepared to defend her fish from marauding seagulls in this original drawing by cartoonist Richard Oldden. It was originally folded and mailed in a letter-size envelope. For the record, that is not really an ideal way to deliver a finished drawing, but it is expedient. The drawing and a companion drawing were sold on eBay only when the price was lowered to $79.
