Edward Koren: Drawings for Henry Sussman

Ever the generous friend, New Yorker cartoonist Edward Koren (1935-2023) was known to treat those he cared about with the occasional souvenir drawing in his unique and furry style. Henry Sussman was one such lucky recipient. Although some twenty-six years older than Koren, they shared at least an interest in jogging. Sussman's framed Koren drawing attesting to this was recently listed on eBay.

eBay item description

Also on eBay, but still unsold, are three drawings Koren made for Sussman's seventy-fifth, eightieth, and eighty fifth birthdays. A cartoon detective might surmise that Sussman remained very active, with interests in tennis, bicycling, and motorcycling.
