A fortune teller sees into the future in this original New Yorker artwork from 1969 by the unpredictable Lee Lorenz. What she foresees is an oil strike in the Antarctic. Whether there truly are vast oil reserves in the Antarctic is anybody's guess even today, but even if there are they would be prohibitively expensive to extract and there are currently international treaties forbidding it.

Note: Thank goodness there's a blog out there that's looking to publish yet more original work by
Lee Lorenz and the
New Yorker cartoonists he once edited. Now if only I could remember the name of it...
