An original gag cartoon by John Ruge comes to us via eBay sadly lacking its caption. The original drawing shows a young and fashionable urban couple unpacking after a move into their country home. The husband has just discovered a new and unfamiliar place—the toolshed. He carries a hammer and a handsaw, two tools not readily used together.
Note: Say what? Has this caption been forever lost to posterity? Anyone who can locate a published version of this cartoon should get in touch.
Of the four works of reportedly original John Ruge cartoon art recently listed and sold by eBay seller mika-1234, the cartoon labeled #1, above, is not actually by John Ruge. So who drew it? Read all about it here.
