In this lot is an original comic panel by J. R Williams, c. 1928. This framed original of his "Why Mothers Go Grey" is called "Squeeze Play". The scene is of "Mother" walking into the bathroom to find that "Edgar" has had "Squeeze Play" with the toothpaste all over the bathroom. This Scene is signed in the lower right corner and dated 11 (The day is covered by the matting). In the lower right corner, next to the date, is a strip of paper that reads “Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.” and “(C) 1928 by NEA Service, Inc.”, meaning this scene was sold for publication. The scene is professionally matted and framed with a gold frame. There is some foxing to the original paper; along with the faint pencil sketch marks (made pre "inking" the work), it adds to the authenticity and uniqueness of this piece. James Robert Williams (March 30, 1888 – June 17, 1957) was a Canadian cartoonist. He was best known for his long-run daily syndicated panel, “Out Our Way”. “Out Our Way” first appeared in newspapers on March 20, 1922. The single-panel series introduced a variety of characters. The visible art measures 12" X 12" and in the frame measures 19" X 19".
