A Peter Arno mystery turned up in 2014 at Capo in Long Island City. Offered at auction was original artwork of a woman seeking a ride. The artwork is less detailed than a typical New Yorker drawing. It is framed but no caption is evident and the publication history is unknown. The lot passed.
Note: Can you shed light on this Peter Arno original? Be sure to leave word. Got a caption idea? Leave it in the comments section. I get to put mine in the title.
Meanwhile, here are the usual Arno links:
Peter Arno: The Mad, Mad World of The New Yorker's Greatest Cartoonist by Michael Maslin is now on my nightstand and it should be on yours.
Peter Arno in April's Vanity Fair.
Peter Arno in the March 29 Wall Street Journal article.

Arno might have said, "My car broke down, may I borrow your back seat?"
