Got a question about some old MSU artwork

[Dawgaholics United]

Does anybody know who this artwork belongs to? It's been around a long time and I'm assuming you have to be licensed to use it for profit, but is it the school's? Just hoping to get a little history on it. Thanks in advance.

Robert Stringer in Starkville. Look him up.

Well that was quick. Thanks man!

It may not be his but he will most likely know the story on it.

Seems I saw this in the late 60's or early 70's. I remember Msu calling OM dog meat! Look at the Cowbell logo which was late 60's

I still blast "Bulldog Blitz" in my car on game day.

As a kid and a student at State, Dawg meat was a common expression, especially as a chant when the opposing team ran onto the field

I can't remember if it was Stringer's work but I wouldn't be surprised. Joe Dier might know the artist if you can reach him.

The decal on the bell is from the early 70's

DAWGS was not used until much later.


So???

Is that a liquor bottle spilling on the grass?

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Very probably.

Dang, bully used to kill the curls.

I have that sticker on an old cowbell of mine. 70's era.

Ted Wall drew it back in the seventies. It was published in a engineering magazine on campus later turned into a decal.

He had copies made I have #8 of 40. He gave one to Dan Mullen a few years back.

Looking at the original drawing posted later in the this thread, it appears to be a bottle of Rebel Yell spilling on the ground.

For shame. This cartoon is the 70's equivalent of a David Murray tweet. Toxic rivalry.**

As well as the words Jr. College on the hat band. Subtle.

Would you happen to have Ted Wall's contact info?

My dad gave me a cowbell for Christmas with that sticker on it. I've been meaning to post it asking when was it from.

My dad was in someone's office when he saw it. That guy was going to give it to his grandkid to get it out of his office. Bell looks like it was an actual cowbell, painted and stickers slapped on. And no handle. It's awesome

Glad this thread was started.
