1983 IL Gov James Thompson Income Tax Hike Orig Cartoon B-17 Bomber Jack Higgins
This is the original artwork by Jack Higgins for his Chicago Sun-Times editorial cartoon dated 1983. The art deals with Illinois Governor James R. Thompson proposing tax increases, including an unpopular 60% increase of the income tax rate. The artwork shows the governor piloting a plane similar to the B-17 Bomber, with the legislators bailing out. The artwork measures approx. 11-1/2" x 17-5/8". This is the original artwork that Jack Higgins created. You can see where the artist made corrections as he crafted the art. The artwork is in good condition - there are a few small marks/smudges/light dirt on the art - there are some editor notes written on the back - there is ink transfer on the back from artwork that was stored under this art - there is a 3" x 1/4" paper residue on the bottom of the back - there is some light dirt on the back. A NICE, ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE OF EDITORIAL ARTWORK THAT WOULD LOOK GREAT FRAMED! When packed, this will ship at the 2 pound rate - check the postage calculator. Jack Higgins has worked at the Chicago Sun-Times for over 35 years and won a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 1989. Check out my other listings for more cartoons by Jack Higgins.
