Claude's Last Chance Gas




Claude Smith, Last Chance Gas
The New Yorker, April 26, 1958, pp. 36-37

The original New Yorker artwork for Claude Smith's four-panel Last Chance Gas gag was sold recently on eBay for $125 with Buy It Now. The full details of the eBay listing are included below. Note how large each panel of the original artwork is compared to the size it was reproduced in the magazine. As I have lamented here before, the cost of framing such a large multipanel cartoon for optimal home display is likely far greater than the apparent market value of the artwork itself. Nevertheless, if you like a piece of original artwork enough to want to own it, it makes sense to be able to show it off in your home to its full advantage.
