A Cartoon Portrait in Roz Chast's The Party, After You Left

This copy of Roz Chast's The Party, After You Left (2004) is signed and inscribed with an original cartoon portrait. A general rule about cartoon collections is ridiculously easy to remember: Cartoon books are great, but they're even better signed, and especially better signed with an original drawing. This book appeared last year on eBay. Incredibly, I was the only bidder.
