This is the unique original Gouache painting by Gordon Hutchings.

A little bit of forward thinking it seems will prevent rain stopping play, or eating. Two panels from a Num Num story.

Num Num and His Funny Family was written by Barbara Hayes and drawn by Gordon Hutchings who is well known for the much-loved character Gulliver Guinea-Pig.

The stories appeared in the short-lived children's pre-school title TV Toyland which was published between 1966-67 before being merged with the better known Playhour.
