Gahan Wilson: On the Driving Range

Bookseller Charles Agvent offers an original Gahan Wilson golf drawing set on a driving range. It bears a New Yorker sticker on the verso. Nevertheless, I haven't been able to determine when drawing A7892 was published. There's no caption to look up and the cartoon doesn't appear in the revised edition of The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker, which goes up to 2006. I haven't been able to find it on the websites of the Condé Nast Store, the Cartoon Bank, or CartoonStock either. None of those sites are comprehensive, so it still could have appeared in the magazine or, just possibly, it may have been killed.

Note:  Readers who know when this drawing was published in The New Yorker—if indeed it was—are urged to come forward.
