The second cartoon (which appears to be unfinished) shows the same ideas represented by the Soviet symbol of the hammer and sickle with a mickey mouse figure waving a banner with the words ‘Welcome more or less’ Titled in the bottom margin and signed by Collins at lower right. Paper size 37 x 29 cm (14.5 x 11.5 inch), image size 32 x 26 cm. Very good condition.
