George Price: The Family That Gets Its Kicks Together

This original cartoon artwork by George Price features an eccentric family of motorcycle enthusiasts. Last year it was offered twice at Skinner, originally on June 1st and subsequently on November 17th, where it sold for a meager $180. This is one of those busy yet assured compositions that was Price's specialty. It was published in the pages of the New Yorker in 1967.

George Price, "We figure the family that gets it's [sic] kicks together sticks together."
Original artwork for the New Yorker, November 25, 1967, p. 65.

Note:  This series of posts about George Price is winding down now, but I've gained a renewed appreciation of his art. Read it all here.

With all the talk about the Super Bowl coming up this Sunday, I'm sure you've been wondering if there could possibly be any more hype about the big game. Well, what would you say to a collection of Attempted Bloggery's past football posts?
