For your consideration are two original & framed Stan Lynde comic character drawings from the 1970s - 1980s. Born on September, 23rd 1931 in Billings, Montana, he was raised on a sheep ranch near Lodge Grass. Stan attended the University of Montana in Missoula where he was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity and later lived in Helena. In 1958, Lynde created the comic strip Rick O'Shay, a critical and commercial success. The first in this lot shows the comic character Rick O'Shay, the protagonist of a Western-themed comic strip of the same name, created by Stan Lynde. The strip ran from 1958 to 1981 and followed the adventures of its pun-named characters in the fictional town of Conniption. Rick has a friendly smile on his face and is waving to the viewer. He wears a cowboy hat and a star badge on his vest. Below the character it reads, "Rick O'Shay / By Stan Lynde". The second in this lot shows Quyat Burp, an orphan child who hangs around Rick O'Shay. He wears a hat and has a nice smile on his face as he looks towards the viewer. It is marked at the top reading, "Quyat" and is signed at the bottom reading, "By Stan Lynde". Both are set in a wood frame and sit behind glass to preserve their condition. The visible artwork measures 23 1/2" L x 17 1/2" W, while the entire piece measures 26 3/8" L x 20 3/8" W x 1 1/4" D. The two pieces have a collective weight of 9 pounds and 6 ounces.
