Wow, that's something! If I recall correctly, my grandpa crafted a homemade bass for my uncle (also Michiganders) back in the 50s/60s. I'd like to hope that it was better than that. I'll have to see if I can get my dad to track down a photo for comparison purposes.

I love and forgive this one, but nonetheless it must be noted that the bluegrass banjo player is inexplicably playing what looks like a tenor banjo (four strings) and that the guitarist is one-finger barring the entire sixth fret, and doing so with his finger ON the fret. He also appears to be holding his pick perpendicular to the strings and the tailpiece is apparently so close to the soundhole that his arm is blocking it entirely.

This should also be cross-posted to the threads for incredibly shit drawings of hats, incredibly shit drawings of banjos, and for that matter incredibly shit drawings of allegedly human people.
But mostly the hats one

Weird amounts of care taken on strange details, with glaring omissions in others. Like, five-string banjo with four strings and a strap. Six-string guitar with six strings and no strap.
Ascots, or maybe cravats, plus sweater vests, because the artist clearly can't be trusted with normal shirts or ties? Cross-hatch film instead of actual cross-hatching? Hey btw the 70s called and wants their graphics technique back.
At least the faces made of badly kneaded bread dough are accurate, so there's that.

Little known trivia is that the guitarist is playing The Primitives' mega-hit "Do The Ostrich" in said illustration.
