Skinner offered this original cartoon at two of its auctions last year, on June 1 and November 17, but failed to sell it despite a low presale estimate. It is a domestic scene by the incomparable
George Price, with the drab kitchen setting enlivened by a flamboyant personal wardrobe. The auction house correctly lists this as a
New Yorker cartoon; I'm happy to identify the issue, if not the peccadillo.

Maybe you've heard this already, but the Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday, so be sure to make the most of your time. There are only a few days left to review my
football posts
here. I'm so glad I could help.
