Mischa Richter: Amusing?

There's nothing like a little humor in the workplace. Mischa Richter's New Yorker cartoon in the May 12, 1986 issue elaborates on this point pretty effectively. The original art was sold on eBay this past April.

I've asked around but I have yet to be able to identify the spot artist TG. I would appreciate hearing from anybody familiar with this illustrator.
