Margaret Stuffed (Part 1)
Hello again!
Yesterday I posted a Wiseman-esque looking Ruff pillow-toy-thing. So late last night I dug around in boxes until I found this Margaret pillow-toy-thing, which may be from the same series:
Judging from the label (which features a swipe of a Wiseman Dennis head) I'd say this was from sometime in the early-to-mid 1960's.
The linework on the figure is pretty smooth and controlled (notice the hair). And since the other main artists working on Dennis at the time (Hank Ketcham, Lee Holley & Owen Fitzgerald) had a looser drawing and inking style, I'm going with Wiseman on this one.
Any other ideas?
You know, it's tough to get a good photo while Margaret's all wrapped up like that, so maybe I should rip open up the plastic and take some higher-quality pictures for you folks!
I'm sure this would only decrease her book value a few thousand percent. But then I could get her graded and slabbed in hard plastic for eternity!

I got a picture in my mind of Hans Solo
being slaped in that graphite slab.
Don't do it Bill!!!

Jim,
Yeah, maybe I won't.
But a graphite slabbed Margaret sure would look nifty!
