A pencil rough by cartoonist Barney Tobey has the feel of an inside joke rather than of a New Yorker cartoon. Perhaps it is a private commission. There is an attorney today named Ruth Pollack, but the name could belong to someone else.

| Kamelot Auction House, June 18, 2016 |
November 9, 2016 Update: This piece is now being offered on eBay with an opening bid price equal to the 2015 hammer price at Kamelot Auction House before the 28% buyer's premium was added. Thus the seller appears willing to take a possible loss.
