Another four original comic panels of Mischa Richter's syndicated strip Strictly Richter changed hands on eBay in March. They date from the 1950s and not the 1960s despite the eBay seller's title. According to the seller, these cartoons are "about people and life." Why didn't I think of that?
The first panel was published late in 1955. It features an impatient artist reprimanding his model, improbably named Miss Drones. Oh, that's the joke.

Three years later, Richter is still spelling during with an extra n. He probably could have eliminated the word the from the caption. The artist was born in Ukraine, so we'll forgive him.

Concerns about cultural insensitivity were not widespread at the time.

I don't think overdose is the best word here.
