It isn't every day that four space-themed cartoons by New Yorker cartoonist Bob Eckstein come up at auction, but that is precisely what's happening tomorrow in Mount Kisco, New York. The cartoons are unique hand-colored prints created in 2012 in an edition of precisely one. They are signed, numbered, and dated, but most of all they are funny.
