And then there’s his OJ Simpson painting. He’s covered it all, eh?

My dad had a print of the resurrected Christ painting that Kevin Barney referred to. As a child I loved looking at it. There is a little boy offering Christ a little bunny rabbit that always stood out to me. I loved it.

You are a definite Friberg aficionado, aren’t you, LDS AC? I’m glad to have found something to add to your enjoyment. Thanks for commenting.

This picture reminds me of the comic strip Arnold Friberg drew for his high school newspaper called “Brainy Benzino.”

Thank you so much for posting this. I love Friberg’s work, he was famous for horses but I had no idea at 11 he could even tackle a hen. Here is one for you. If you live in SLC go to the International Center on 31st South and Redwood Rd. The huge wall mural done with many nationalities you will notice a horse. The mural was done by another artist and Friberg upon seeing the mural, told his friend, “you don’t know horses, let me draw that.” This was when he was about 85 years old.

I've read elsewhere that Friberg contributed at least one other drawing to the JI (May 1926 issue).

jeans, if it had been published in 1923 there would be no question of its being in the public domain — 1924, I’m not sure. Which means I know I’m fudging and keeping my fingers crossed by posting it here.
