KETCHAM, HANK. Original Sketch Signed, Donald Duck with Dennis the Menace.

Hank KETCHAM. Original Sketch Signed of Donald Duck and Dennis the Menace. Ketcham has drawn a pen and ink sketch of Donald Duck saying to Dennis the Menace, "Hey,Kid...Gimme back my HAT!" Ketcham drew Donald Duck with angry eyes, a wide open mouth, and perhaps a sweat drop near his head. Ketcham drew Dennis more prominently since the cartoonist is most closely associated with the trouble making boy. Rendered on a drawing paper. the page measures 8 1/2 x almost 10 1/2 inches but slightly uneven at top margin. Ketcham signs and dates in a bold hand, "Hank Ketcham 11-16-92." Ketcham drew Donald Duck when he worked at Disney studios.
