Note: If I were in your shoes and I had a choice between reading more of my blog posts about Whitney Darrow, Jr. or more posts about signed books with original drawings, I would choose both.
Then I would check out Darrow's work on Chris Wheeler's site. Would I steer you wrong?

In 1973, Darrow inscribed a copy to cartoonist Roy Doty. He modified the printed drawing by adding a billboard sign, some paint brushes, and a can of paint. This personalized copy was sold in March on eBay.

| EBay Bid History The top bid is less than a full bidding increment above the other bid because the higher bid was placed first. Had the order of bidding been reversed, the $52 bid would have won because $52.52 is not a full bidding increment above it. Both bids were placed in the final 18 seconds of the auction. |
