Attack of the Cable Box

Attack of the Cable Box is a watercolor illustration by Charles Addams, and it looks as if it was created for TV Guide. It is currently in previews at Heritage Auctions. It should be open for online bidding around February 9, with the final live auction scheduled for March 1.

Heritage dates the drawing to circa 1980. Speaking for myself, I'm not having any easier time with my cable box today than I was in 1980. But then again, I'm not having this kind of trouble.
