The latter, while not a household name, is better know through his legendary cartoon--Sad Sack. Private gift inscription [to a Battle of the Bulge survivor] on front end-paper. A clean, square, unmarked copy. Near fine [due only to inscription] in near fine dust-jacket.. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
