Virgil Partch: The Babysitter's Report

A couple returns home from a night out and the babysitter tells them what every parent wants to hear: "He's been an angel." Virgil Partch's published cartoon art presents a familiar and easily-readable scenario, yet it is completely off the wall. In pencil, Vip has dedicated the original to Geo. and Reni. 

"He's been an angel."

Note:  I wouldn't envy anyone who set out to catalogue the prolific and widespread magazine work of Virgil Partch. For myself, I would be happy just to learn where this single example of Vip art saw print.
