Stan Hunt: The View From the Porch Swing

In 2016, a rough drawing by cartoonist Stan Hunt changed hands on eBay.
"Darling, your eyes are like limpid pools! . . . What's the
matter[,] aren't you getting enough sleep?"

Hunt relocated from Manhattan to Rowayton, Connecticut. (Cartoonist Carl Rose also lived in this town.)

The eBay listing identifies Hunt as a newspaper cartoonist. But as a New Yorker cartoonist whose work appeared in the magazine from 1956 to 1990 (according to Ink Spill), Hunt should be recognized for attaining the highest level of magazine cartooning.
