Cartoonist Lee Lorenz has been caught in the act of defacing a one dollar bill. This comes from the paper money collection of bandleader Ray Anthony. The eBay listing notes his friendship with Dean Martin, but he is also close friends with Hugh Hefner, and this may have given him access to Playboy cartoonists. You know, at the Mansion...
Note: You're invited to send in your own pictures of dollar bills decorated by New Yorker—or Playboy—cartoonists. If you don't have any, just send money.

I really hope this is a joke-- that is not his handwriting and this is not authentic! Sincerely, Lee Lorenz's daughter
ReplyDeleteIt's not a joke at all. This is one of many autographed dollar bills sold on eBay reportedly from the collection of Ray Anthony of Beverly Hills. Granted, the handwriting is uncharacteristically legible. Have you shown the photo to Mr. Lorenz?
