Jacqueline Susann's novel Valley of the Dolls created a sensation in 1966, eventually selling over 31 million copies. The movie followed in December of 1967, receiving poor reviews yet grossing over $50 million. It wasn't until 1968 that the New Yorker recognized the phenomenon with a cartoon, one by Whitney Darrow, Jr., fairly low-key compared with its source material. His original art is currently available through the Argosy Book Store.
Note: At the time of this posting, the original art remains available at Argosy.
