> DESCRIPTION

Pete Millar (1929 - 2003) is considered to be one of the greatest satirical cartoonists, working within the hot rodding and drag racing communities. After finding his original inspiration from the artists of Mad Magazine's heyday in the 1950s and 1960s, Millar turned his drawing skills to humorous situations involving souped-up cars and their errant drivers, as well as his spoofs of actual personalities and controversies during the rapid growth of drag racing.
