Need help from someone with old newspaper access
 

Hi - a fellow Giants collector just picked up this 11' x 15" original artwork. It was done by Phil Bissell, a cartoonist for the Boston Globe from 1953-65. Phil's actual career as a cartoonist spanned from 1949-87. He is said to have done 60,000 cartoons and was the creator of the New England Patriots old mascot/logo, Pat Patriot. Anyway, the bottom of this piece is marked "Friday Sports," making me think it was set to run in The Boston Globe on October 12, 1962. Game 6 was originally scheduled for October 11 but rain delays in NY and SF (torrential) ended up pushing Game 6 to October 15. Do any of you have a way to access the October 12, 1962 edition of the Boston Globe? I think some members of Net54 pay for old newspaper access. I would love to either see a picture of the page or get a link to the page. Thanks!!

Nice work.

Just read the article on the far right by the AP. Big oops since the 1963 ASG was played in Cleveland, not Minneapolis. I wonder if that was an error in the story or if the venue got changed.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MIKE!!!!!!! Net54 folks are the best!!!

Happy Holidays!

Awesome. Love to see original sports cartoon artwork matched up with the finished product.
