Original hand-inked two-panel Beetle Bailey comic strip on an off-white 14 x 5 sheet of artist’s cardstock, signed in the last panel, “Mort Walker,” and signed and inscribed in the lower border, “To Ted Key, the Greatest! Mort Walker.” The comic shows Beetle lounging against a tree and exclaiming, “I’m goofing off, you big dumbell, what do you think I’m doing?!” A 1988 King Features copyright notice is affixed to the center. In fine condition. Ted Key was the creator of the comic Hazel, which appeared in The Saturday Evening Post. A fine association between prominent American cartoonists.
