Ben Cheney, drawing for Christmas card 1949. This drawing shows a baseball player just hitting the ball toward the viewer and wishing them a "Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year". A cutout photograph of Ben Cheney's head has been pasted on the cartoon body. Ben Cheney was known to draw cartoons and one of his cartoons was included in his high school yearbook, the 1920 "Carcowan" from South Bend High School. This may be a drawing by Ben Cheney or by another artist. Stylized letters under the batter's foot show "DL". (The Sou'wester, Fall 2000, The Ben Cheney Story, Med Nicholson)
