An original desert island cartoon by Lee Lorenz has the sketchy look of a rough drawing which the artist shopped around to various magazines. It may or may not have been published in this form or in a more finished version. It certainly seems clever enough to have seen print somewhere. The original was sold on eBay early in 2017 with a listing title that suggests it is an original work of New Yorker art—which it isn't, although Lorenz was art editor for many years and later cartoon editor. For good measure, the seller tacked the name Charles Addams onto the title of the eBay listing, perhaps for the benefit of those who could name no other New Yorker artist.
