Original Small Saves Hockey Goalie Cartoon mask glove save Nothing Ever Hurts

For sale is the original artwork from the syndicated hockey comic strip, Small Saves. Title of cartoon is "Nothing Ever Hurts." (ss_97_2014) This particular cartoon showcases the temperament of hockey goalies when barraged with shot after shot. The artwork is drawn in black and white pen and ink. This is a Sunday comic, double paneled. Illustrated in 2014, this particular piece of art has been handled quite a bit. Please see photos for condition and size. The artwork comes unframed and is signed by the syndicated creator. Since the art is used in the publication process, you may find rips, paste-ins, white-out, pencil marks, notes, and all the "Behind the scenes" add-ons it takes to come up with the final piece. Once this original is drawn, it's taken to the copy store where reduced-sized copies are made. One is then colored in, scanned, formatted, and then emailed out for syndication. I feel the original art would be best enjoyed by fans of the comic strip, hockey collectors, etc., instead of being put in a box and stored away. Perhaps you've seen the on and off-ice antics of this little youth hockey goalie in the pages of USA Hockey Magazine, Inside Hockey, your local newspaper, Goalies' World Magazine, and many other periodicals, newspapers, and online media formats... and, of course, his very site. The art is priced so that everyone who wants original hockey art can afford to purchase. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will reply within 24 hours. Thank you for looking!
