Cartoon art is the original Conceptual Art. br Renowned British Illustrator Smilby (Francis Wilford Smith) conceptualizes a Playboy cartoon so good that no caption is needed. The existing caption, "Bancroft? George Bancroft? - - never heard of him -- you've got the wrong number," is superfluous. In this work, Smilby depicts an annoyed older man in bed with a beautiful, much younger woman. He is interrupted by a nocturnal phone call asking for a "George Bancroft". The older man is unaware that the "George Bancroft" is hiding under the bed. Everyone is in on the joke except the older man. br Signed Smilby lower right - Hi- end Framed Dimensions 17 X 13.5 Inches under Tru Vue Museum Glass.
