Newspaper illustration art...here's my Ruth, and show what you got

Thought I would start of thread where we can all share illustrations from newspapers. Here is a cool 8" x 10" caricature of Babe Ruth clipped from a September 4th, 1932 newspaper that I picked up 6 to 7 years back for about $5. I assume it would be a fair amount more now, but still inexpensive.

I love the image of Ruth as a raging Roman charioteer, knocking all the competition asunder on his path to another World Series, and wielding a bat as a club.

Show any illustration artwork that you have, whether original or clipped from a newspaper like mine.

Not sports, but I had to buy this drawing of Buster Keaton by Hardie Gramatky. Gramatky went on to become a fairly famous painter and even worked for Disney for a while as an animator. I love everything about this drawing:

It's not really artwork, but it's newspaper and it's Ruth 3-4-1916.
