An original magazine cartoon by Gahan Wilson was sold this past weekend on eastern Long Island for $800, more than the auction house's high estimate. It's one of those unusual drawings where Wilson somehow worked a grotesque figure into something suitable, more or less, for The New Yorker. Bon appétit.
