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.

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.
