A vintage screenprint featuring a humorous comic-strip illustration, with bold outlines, flat colours and hand-lettered dialogue. Probably a student work from Lincoln College of Art, the drawing appears to take inspiration from the 12½p Buytonic Boy, as featured in Krazy comic, although the character is radically reimagined. It has strong affinities with the work of David Law and Leo Baxendale, recalling the distinctive visual language of post-war British children's comics such as The Beano and The Dandy. Dates to the mid-to-late 1970s. Unsigned and undated.

The print came from a small bundle of works, all dating from c.1975–1980, from the estate of Allen Smith (1942–2024), graphic design lecturer at Lincoln College of Art (and artist in his own right). Some may be by his own hand, although most appear to be retained student pieces, perhaps used as teaching examples.
