A dog seen in the original art to a 1988
Mischa Richter's New Yorker cartoon rethinks his traditional relationship with humanity. Things were rough back then. What on earth would the dog think today? More to the point here, why should a cartoon that's kept its relevance for thirty years remain so undervalued by the market?

Note: Why is some
New Yorker art so undervalued? Perhaps it's because it's still relatively underappreciated.
Attempted Bloggery seeks to educate the public on the artistry that goes into
New Yorker cartoons. I am eager to publish scans and photographs of original cartoon art by
Mischa Richter and other
New Yorker artists. Please see what you can do to help. My dog will thank you.
Yesterday's blog post about a faux
Peter Arno drawing was mentioned on
Ink Spill, a blog about
New Yorker cartoonist news and events written by
Michael Maslin, Arno's biographer. His book
Peter Arno: The Mad Mad World of The New Yorker’s Greatest Cartoonist (Regan Arts, 2016) is available on Amazon now for a ridiculously low price
here.
