Description
Original pencil sketch of Frontier Village's costume character Kactus Kong. The drawing is in black and white and is a more realistic-looking ape than the costume character ended up being. In this drawing, Kactus Kong is wearing a white cowboy hat, a white handkerchief around his neck, and a belt slide holster and gun. He is baring his fangs and is holding a woman in his hands with her arms held up in the air.
