Unknown Artist work sent in by Besty Boyle
Untitled
Collage & Color Pencil, sent 3/2006

Betsy Boyle of Portland summitted this curious collage. On the tub it reads To Bad To Bad Red Oh! Oh!. The old cartoon has a photograph of a lady added into the drawing and the plumber wears a sign "On Strike". Besty said the photo-collage was found as is, and looks like it was in a scrap-book at one time. It must have been an insidedjoke; the maker familiar with the woman who's photo pasted into the scene.
