The Comic Art Professional Society, or CAPS, organized a charity auction event on eBay in March to benefit cartoonist Stan Sakai and his wife. Mr. Sakai is the creator of Usagi Yojimbo. Original artwork for a New Yorker cartoon by Jack Ziegler was sold on eBay. It had apparently been donated by fellow cartoonist Lynn Johnston of "For Better or for Worse." Original New Yorker work by Mr. Ziegler doesn't come to the market all that often. While I don't think this one quite ranks among his very best, the selling price of $281.98 is nevertheless a bit underwhelming.
The accompanying letter from 1992 reveals that the New Yorker waited two years before running this cartoon. Mr. Ziegler wrote that the magazine still had a 1975 cartoon of his that hadn't yet been published. I wonder what became of that.
Well... there you have it.

If there were a simple way to gather in one place all of my posts over the years on the subject of original New Yorker cartoon art, you would avail yourself of it, would you not?
