The picture is a small scanned copy of a caricature done
during WWII by Jim Bodrero. A search for this artist reveals
he was a cartoonist for Disney. The words across the top are
"I can keep this up for miles." 
I do still have the original sketch which measures about 
11 x 14 inches and it is in excellent shape.

A few of Jim's credits are:
Make Mine Music (1946) 
Three Caballeros, The (1944) 
Victory Through Air Power (1943) (story adaptation) 
White Heat (1934) 
Dumbo (1941) (character designer) 
Fantasia (1940) (character designer)
(segments "The Pastoral Symphony" and "Dance of the Hours") 
Jim Bodrero

This was the reply my friend, Pat in Houston, received 
regarding if Jim Bodrero is alive or deceased.

"He died sometime ago."
 
Kind Regards,
