Sometimes eBay sellers are at their best when they offer a bit of unsolicited home decorating advice. For example, an eight-panel original
New Yorker cartoon from the late summer of 1950 by
Claude Smith depicts a husband coming home from work and greeting his wife at a lakeside summer home. The seller advises that this piece, which is on two sheets, "would look great framed in a vacation cottage on a lake!" To this there is really nothing to add except "or anywhere else."
