Edward Frascino: Witch List

Last year, original New Yorker cartoon art by Edward Frascino changed hands on eBay. Published in the issue of December 19, 1988, the drawing depicts a witch stirring the contents of a hot cauldron while confiding in a black cat. The caption has faded but the drawing retains its spooky charms.
