I don’t know what game this policeman adorned; I found him loose in a box of stuff in a flea market. But the back identifies the maker as “Fairchild”; that’s something at least. He’s crisply drawn in that American Socialist Realist style, and I think that uncolored stop sign is a nice touch.

I love him……..he really looks Chinese or Russian. His uniform is so colorful and the non color of the stop sign is incredible….he really doesn’t seem to have much authority at all…..

I particularly like that the stop sign is askew, as if the artist couldn’t fathom how to draw an octagon without a point at the top. Perhaps the poor draftsmanship led the artiste to stop before coloring. We also must wonder, “Why a policeman AND a stop sign?” Perhaps the world has spun so out of control…. “Quck! Get Officer McNally down to Fifth and Elm! They’re ignoring the sign!”
