Mischa Richter: Eleven Esquire Cartoons

A group of eleven full-page Esquire cartoons by Mischa Richter was sold on eBay in November. The early drawings, to my eye, show the influence of Syd Hoff and George Grosz.


"You're such a child, but I love you[.]"       "Boy! The  progress this younger generation has made since our day[.]"

"Hey[,] Butch! The gentleman you was expecting is here[.]"                     "Suave, ain't he?"

  1. This is another collection of Richter's work (see Mischa Richter: Not Spoiled post) that shows him blatantly imitating a more popular cartoonist, this time the prolific Syd Hoff. Good thing Richter eventually found his own style.
