Today's example of original art by Whitney Darrow, Jr., comes, for once, with a caption written on the illustration board. The original art dates from 1966 and depicts a thespian veterinarian (that's right). In his office, he is treating several dogs but sending one of them away while quoting—actually misquoting—the appropriate Shakespearean line. The file sticker on the back of the art suggests it was created for the client Personna, a purveyor of fine razor blades, but after yesterday's post I'm more inclined to believe it illustrates an "On Campus" column for funnyman Max Shulman.
