About the Item
Medium: Gouache and Pencil on Paperboard
Signature: Signed Lower Left
Original cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post, August 26, 1961.
The Post described, “The Post described, “The Cub Scout motto is “Do your best,” and under these soggy circumstances the best idea is to send an SOS to the nearest ship of Sea Explorer scouts. While the boys are awaiting rescue they might try to improve the seaworthiness of the phone booth. Or the Cubmaster could conduct a refresher course in Cub lore, reminding the lads of the symbolism of their uniform: The blue stands for “truth and loyalty and the sky above”; the gold is for “sunlight and cheer and happiness.” Yes, we realize this is an awfully small Cub pack —but artist Dick Sargent simply couldn’t pack any more boys into the booth. Will there be any other questions? Question: What is the difference between a calf and a Cub? Answer: A Cub has sense enough to come in out of the rain.”
