An ink and watercolor comic strip by Edward Sorel was published in The Nation on December 12, 1988. In it, Sorel muses on the failed cartooning ambitions of actors John Barrymore and Gary Cooper, and of writer John Updike. He takes a somewhat sardonic view of his own success as a cartoonist, proud that he's achieved what those three cultural titans could not, and choosing not to dwell on the relatively low pay he earned from his "special kind of talent." The original art of this little career day gem had been given by Sorel to Elizabeth and Dick Hyman of jazz fame. It was sold by their estate and thence to eBay.
