It's ridiculous for the original of a published New Yorker cartoon to sell for as little as Mischa Richter's drawing from the issue of September 24, 1990. The drawing still holds up well more than three decades after its printing, although the rogues' gallery called to mind today is decidedly more partisan and political. The drawing is fairly detailed and should be worth considerably more than the $33 it fetched on eBay. A lot of the responsibility for this goes to the seller, whose misleading title suggests the offering is a signed magazine rather than an original magazine cartoon.

Note: And just who exactly is spot illustrator S. Wilson? I know this person is not a New Yorker cover artist or cartoonist, and not author/illustrator Sandra Wilson. But that's all I know.
