Description: Original JOHN DEMPSEY Signed Cartoon Drawing Circa 1950 Playboy Magazine Artist Original JOHN DEMPSEY Signed Cartoon Drawing Circa 1950 Playboy Magazine Artist Click images to enlarge Description John Dempsey, vintage multi-media cartoon drawing on paper of a stereotypical Mexican drinking tequila at a bar and a poster of a nude woman in the background, inscribed To Ralph, J Dempsey in the lower right corner, 11 by 14 inches. The drawing appears to be drawn with ink, black pencil, and colored pencil or watercolor. There is a light water stain in the lower left and a small crease in the lower right corner; both can be addressed when the drawing is framed. John Dempsey (1911-2002) began his illustration career in the 1940s and became best known for his cartoons for Playboy magazine. Although this drawing is undated, it appears to come from his first years as an artist, the late 1940s or early 1950s, anticipating the work he would later make famous in Playboy. It is most likely unpublished. All original drawings by Dempsey are scarce. Condition: Used Condition Notes: Generally in very good condition; however, there is a light water stain in the lower left and a small crease in the lower right corner.
