Default Looks OK

The "WC" looks about right, and the "ds" look pretty good. The "F" is a bit off but he had a lot variation in the "F". On balance, I'd say good.

Definitely bad. Fields was a cartoonist, and his signature reflected that--it flowed.
Here are a few. (Note the difference between his early signature and his later style.)

It looks too stiff. Red flag.

100% Authentic and spot on in all aspects of his more simplistic examples on autograph album pages and in person signatures. You can find a ton of examples that compare with this one perfectly online. Like most entertainers his autograph could be flamboyant or simplistic. You can compare hundreds of his signatures online. The album page on the PSA website is a perfect example of his more simplistic signature.

It has nothing to do with the fact that it's "simplistic." As I said, that's Fields' later-style signature. The problem is that it is drawn.

Here's a pencil signature to compare with that of the OP. Note the flow.

After checking my Fields autograph and checking the PSA link I agree with David and have to say not good . The " Fields" looks slowly drawn and forced with poor formation.

OP never told us what the signature is on. A Book? An Album page?
