Is ordering a drink a political act? Original New Yorker art by Mischa Richter from 1987 attempts to get to the bottom of it all.
Note: Thirsty for more high culture? Me too. Attempted Bloggery is eager to publish scans and photographs of original cartoon art by Mischa Richter and other New Yorker artists. Do you have original art that belongs on this blog?

Speaking of Ebay... Have you seen this?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/Signed-Original-Peter-Arno-Cartoon-Illustration-for-The-New-Yorker-Magazine-NoRe-/401386251681?hash=item5d747c25a1
Is this really an original drawing by Peter Arno? I see the signature, but the style suggests it is drawn by someone other than Mr. Arno.
Am I the only skeptic here?
No, you aren't. There is no way this eBay listing shows a work by Peter Arno or any sort of New Yorker cartoon.
DeleteThe bidding is currently up to $112.50!! Maybe I should put my "original signed Picasso" on Ebay, too. A fool and his money...
ReplyDeleteSo I see. Thursday's blog post is devoted to this questionable work.
