For this Family Dog favorite master poster artist Rick Griffin created his version of the “Sunday Funnies”. In 1999 Stanley Mouse told Mark Powers that he created the second panel from the right in the bottom row. He signed the panel but his signature is so small that you cannot see it. In any event this is a poster that always enjoys high demand because of it’s great design bargain price and the fact it was created by one of the greatest artists of them all Rick Griffin. 

This is THE FINEST quality CGC graded example to ever appear at public auction. The second finest a 9.6 brought $833 all the way back in May of 2015.
