Colour Study: 15" x 20" "Found in possession of three Irish Sweep tickets, one George Phelps, alias 'Fat Chance', alias 'Lucky This Time', alias 'Need You Now'... At the time of this cartoon, betting in Canada in the form of lotteries was illegal. The Irish Sweepstakes was a lottery run from Ireland.
