An early cartoon original by Peter Arno was sold by Clarke Auction Gallery of Larchmont in 2020.

Conveniently, a caption has been written on the back: "Now remember you promised!"
The handwritten caption differs slightly from what is printed in For Memebers Only.

Febrary 11, 2026 Update: The cartoon was published in the 1935 collection Peter Arno's For Members Only with the caption "Now remember your promise!" I therefore have corrected the caption slightly from "Now remember, you promised!"
