Drawing
"When St. Peter Sees Me Coming"
| Drawing of an aged, smiling, bare-footed angel in a white robe and with a long beard and mustache, wings, and a halo above his head. He is lounging on a cloud and holding two concoctions in each hand: a glass tumbler and a round-bottom flask. Each cocktail emits puffs of smoke or steam. On the right is a rhyming quatrain by Sid: "When St. Peter sees me coming, He will leave the gates ajar, Cause he knows I've had my Hell on Earth, Behind this dam old Bar." Sid has signed the cartoon in the lower right. |
