A comic strip artist will end up drawing the same characters so many thousands of times, that you’d figure they could draw them with their eyes closed. But could they really? In 1947, Life magazine decided to find out by challenging 10 contemporary comic strip artists to do just that – draw their characters with their eyes closed.
The results, needless to say, are hilarious. Most of the artists were remarkably successful at re-creating individual features of their characters, but they put them all in the wrong places, like a Picasso painting or a botched Mr. Potatohead toy.

What do you think ?
I think Chester Gould was peeking.
I think so too. : ) These are very cool.
Could also just be earlier practice. If you ask 10 artists to draw blindfolded, there's a good chance one has tried it before.
Actually those weren't that bad. Even sorta' cool
I think making fun of efforts few of the rest of us could come close to is silly
