Kings Don't Carry Money Signed with a Drawing by Charles Barsotti

Who doesn't love the work of Charles Barsotti (1933-2014)? The late cartoonist was fond of drawing kings, pups, and business men carrying about large bags of money. A copy of his 1981 book Kings Don't Carry Money was just sold on eBay. It is signed and inscribed by the cartoonist with a small but charming drawing of a songbird.

Note:  I do have just a few posts here about the late Charles Barsotti.

Signed books with drawings have been a staple of this blog. By the way, I'm always looking for new examples to share.
