FYI, the artist is actually Richard Locher who signs his work as Dick Locher.  He is the current artist of the Dick Tracy strip and political cartoonist for the Chicago Tribune. 

The original lithograph showed a little blonde boy and girl and the next series had the little black boy and little blonde girl.  The lithographs were originally hung inside the McDonald's Restaurants in the mid 70's.
