Gadget Man


Alright, I'm back. It has been a busy few years working and finishing up my baccalaureate in nursing but I am bound to get all of these posted for posterity :D This one is not dated but based on the signature (still in cursive, last name only, lightning bolt at the end) I assume it is from around 1982 (the three hole punch on the left is a clue as I was still working on plain old copy paper). I am not sure if this character (Gadget Man) was based on inspector gadget or not as this cartoon premiered around the same time and I was an avid cartoon watcher. I can't help but think of parachute pants with those zippers on the leggings; however I am not sure when I first learned of parachute pants (attributed to 80's fashion, but no year denoted), but I am sure my thought was at the time he needed pockets for all his "gadgets".
