The artist even offers two possible titles for the scene, one a nervous “H-Hello, Fellers” and the other, presumably from the ringleader, the bold declaration: “This is a stick-up.”
Zito, a beloved figure in Palm Beach's 1950s art scene, was known for his witty, narrative driven illustrations that brought charm and levity. His work reflected both technical skill and a sharp sense of humor, making him a favorite among the area's social circles.
