It's a Sailor's Life for Me! - Gulliver Guinea Pig (Original)

This is the unique original Gouache painting by Fred White.
A nice page from a Gulliver Guinea-Pig story by Fred White. Gulliver is drawn very much in the style of Gordon Hutchings but the other characters are depicted in a more cartoony-style.
Painted for Playhour, almost certainly in the mid 1960s, and re-used for a page of a Teddy Bear Annual.
The title is hand painted on acetate and the panels have been pasted down onto coloured paper when it was re-published.
