The Art in Cartooning #[nn]
In "Two Strikes and the Bases Full," Pete finds himself outwitted in a quiet moment of labor when a fellow worker’s promise of shared lunch turns into a lesson in trust and timing. Written, drawn, and inked by C. D. Russell, this 1975 cartooning piece captures a small, telling moment with subtle humor and careful detail, while Charles Saxon’s cover brings a sharp, expressive energy to the scene.
