Mischa Richter's original New Yorker drawing from the issue of February 23, 1987 has the kind of wordplay that hasn't held up very well over time. Maybe it wasn't that funny to begin with. The original artwork was sold on eBay in May. It went for less than $80.

Note: Original New Yorker art by Mischa Richter is just the sort of thing I like to post here. Feel free to submit whatever such original work you have. Then I'll debrief, deprogram, and debug you.
Of course, original art by someone like Charles Saxon could also prove harmonious.
