A work of original cartoon art by John Ruge shows off his skilled draftsmanship. Details of dress, hairstyle, and technology make the drawing very evocative of its time. A pair of bobby soxers listen to records on a portable phonograph and share their musing on—what else?—fate.
The album of record sleeves made transporting LPs easy, but most people wanted to keep the album covers too for their art and informative liner notes. The portable record player was solid but it might not have withstood a pair of feet pushing against it while a record was spinning on the turntable.
Note: This cartoon was evidently published. The question is where and when. Anybody recognize it?
Of the four works of John Ruge original art listed and sold by eBay seller mika-1234, the cartoon labeled #1 is actually not by John Ruge. Find out who created it here.
