I found this image (Not Work Safe)  in a trunk containing my grandfather's Marine Corps uniforms.  He retired in 1970, and the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote first appeared in 1949, so the artwork must have been made in the 50's or 60's.

Oh my! That must have been a surprise find. :)

ROTFL! Crude! :-)
Any indication who the artist was? Your grandfather, or someone else he knew in the Marines?

I've only found copies, and I'd never known my grandfather to be an artist, so I'd assume he got them from someone else.

That's priceless! Almost looks like an old tattoo layout sketch...

Old mimeo humour

You feel your age when kids amaze at something you took for granted as simple humour in the pre-internet/email era. Folks would copy those crude art-jokes endlessly, pass them on in the mail and bring in to work. 'Safe' ones would be thumbtacked on cork boards around the work area (tackable cubicle walls weren't common). Those, and small joke books, would float around, lightening our day. Not better, just different, from now. Erotica then was soft-focused Playboy models or (GASP!) Dirty Playing Cards. Now one can logon and download humour, porn, or humerous porn, and of Much Higher Quality, too. Images of specific fetishes that wouldn't even have been discussed, much less drawn about.

Some things have gotten a lot better... ;)
