Description: James "Jim: Dobbins Original Ink Political Cartoon Golfer Politics Boston James "Jim: Dobbins Original Ink Political Cartoon Golfer Politics Boston Click images to enlarge Description James "Jim" Dobbins, original political cartoon drawn in ink titled At the end of nine!, 10 by 12 inches on a 11 by 16 ½ board, signed in the lower left of the cartoon, undated, in poor condition as the board has been folded in half and the top and bottom are separated about halfway across, and the top edge is partially missing and the remaining part of the top is creased. The drawing shows a golfer turning in his score card to the pro who comments that he is surprised the golfer did as well as he did. I assume the golfer is a local Boston politician and the reference is to some activity he was involved. There are many pencil notations in the margins related to the publication of the cartoon. The cartoon drawing is scarce as most of his original work in now located in the special collections libraries of Syracuse and Wichita State universities.
