Smilby depicts a night scene with a couple engaging in lewd sexual acts in their car. Although situated in a wooded area, it is still in public view. They are surprised by a highly realistic-looking brown bear who suddenly emerges from the bushes. The gag is that it is not a real bear but a police officer in a bear costume working the public obscenity beat, now with a pistol pointed at him. br The caption reads: "Hold your fire, Sir, - ir is I, Sergeant Brunton of the Public Decency Patrol." Signed lower right Smilby. Rough. Typically, Smilby finals are tightly rendered. This rough has a quick, loose feel that supports the narrative's spontaneity, which may be preferable to a finished version. Sheet size 15 x 11 - unframed
