A work of original cartoon art created for the New Yorker by the late Dana Fradon (1922-2019) has been available on eBay since April of 2018, if not earlier. It was published in 1988 and mentions the Clamshell Alliance, an anti-nuclear organization founded in 1976 to protest the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant in New Hampshire. The drawing is framed and in generally good condition. Of note, the artist omitted the closing quotation mark on his caption. The original art has a rectangular stain, perhaps from glue, on the lower left.

Twenty-four cartoonists contributed to the outstanding cartoon set in the issue of July 11, 1988, but it was Dana Fradon alone who actually had two cartoons in the issue.
His other cartoon, from page 20, again shows the artist's deeply-held environmental concern.
