Num Num - If You Cant Stand the Heat (Original)
Medium: Gouache on Board
Size: 12" x 14" (305mm x 355mm)
Date: c. 1966
Code: HutchingsNumCake
This is the unique original Gouache painting by Gordon Hutchings.
Num's friend comes for a visit and nearly gets into trouble with a hot oven. Fortunately crayons and cake save the day. Four panels on the original artboard from the 1960s.
These stories appeared in the short-lived children's pre-school title TV Toyland which was published between 1966-67 before being merged with the more well known Playhour.
Note slight glue residue at top of first panel where the title banner was once fixed.
