That Cal map is priceless.
How did he label San Fran?

Teton Mountaineering in Jackson, Wyoming has a large glass-framed display of original Sheridan Anderson cartoons.
On 6/9/2011 I discussed the history of those cartoons with long-term Teton Mountaineering owner Chuck Schaap.
Chuck remembers Sheridan trading cartoons for climbing gear during various trips to the Tetons.
I did not do a close inspection of the cartoons, but most appear to be original sketches. Others are cut and pasted sketches, on a background.
Since Chuck remembers trading for them: I am more than willing to believe they are all originals.

Tami, I do agree. I was just in Neptune's cracking up over your 'How to fit climbing shoes" cartoon. Lady, you are one phunny 'toonster.
It's original, so did you trade it for a heap o gear?

Thank you all for your kind words!
Ron: As nearly as I can make out, The City is labeled "San Fraweiseo."
Midori did send me another group of photo prints which I hope to scan and post ASAP. Thank you, Midori.
I'd like to see the collection in the Tetons!

I just found this thread. Pretty cool. I'm Sherry's niece. I remember him well even though I wasn't around him much. I wonder why? Actually I remember that he was REALLY allergic to cats and couldn't come to our house to visit. I remember the last time I saw him was when he came for my grandfather's funeral. I have seen some of the letters that he sent to my father (scantily clad amazonian women). He was definitely a great artist and QUITE a character.

Looks like San Francisco to me, a little ornamentation on the "c" that
suggests "e" and I think just a bit of extra stroke that makes the "n"
look like "w"

FANTASTIC NEWS!!!!!
After a year of research, digging and generally asking anyone who would stand still long enough I have just finished a wonderful conversation with Sheridan's brother, Michael. Tracking down this family connection was not easy but as soon as Michael's daughter posted on this thread it all came together!
Suffice to say Sheridan's whimsical, witty, poignant and utterly wonderful illustrations will soon be coming back to life on T-shirts and hoodies! While his climbing illustrations will play an important part of this revival we are also producing apparel with his fishing and backpacking artwork and eventually some of his more obscure but equally compelling cartooning.
This has been a long journey to get to this point but as Michael said,
"I think Sheridan would have thought this was cool."
So... which of Sheridan's classic drawings speaks to you as being the most iconic?

Some of the cartoons from Baron von Mabel's backpacking should also be considered. A more general audience.

Anders... I completely agree that the chosen illustrations must have a broad appeal. Sure there will be some climbing-specific but there will also be fly-fishing specific and others that are just great illustrations/cartoons.
