Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Half Century Screen Print by Tom Whalen

Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Half Century Screen Print by Tom Whalen

How awesome is this Duck Dodgers in the 24 and a Half Century screen print by Tom Whalen!?! It’s just another amazing print from the grand opening of Mondo’s new gallery in Austin, TX that The Blot would love to get his hands on, but probably never will. Duck Dodgers in the 24 and a Half Century was one of my favorite Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoons as a kid. This spoof of Buck Rogers featuring the Looney Tunes gang (primarily Daffy Duck and Porky Pig) is perfect in every way and is credited as the official coming out party of Marvin the Martian. It’s hard to believe the first Duck Dodgers cartoon came out 60 years ago! As a kid, I honestly thought it was new.

Duck Dodgers in the 24th and a Half Century by Tom Whalen is an 18”x24” 7 color screen print on off-white paper and has a limited edition run size of 320 pieces. It is my understanding that these sold out on opening night, but you never know!
