Peter Arno: Auction Postscript

After I bid unsuccessfully last week for two original works by New Yorker cartoonist Peter Arno, Invaluable wrote to me to suggest other, similar works I might like to pursue. What do you suppose they came up with?

The algorithms recognize that someone interested in the work of Peter Arno may also be interested in work by Peter Max. It must be nice to be a programmer.

Note:  This is reminiscent of what happened nearly a decade ago when I wrote a few posts about Walt Kelly's Pogo. See the aftermath of the algorithms we all live with here.

Pogo: Sponsored Links

Have you noticed all the Pogo pieces I've done recently? Well, eBay has taken notice too. Apparently I've been doing a lot of searching on the auction site for Pogo, Walt Kelly's superb comic strip creation.

EBay's algorithmic response is to assist me by including the following Pogo-related sponsored links, and then asking, "Were these search results helpful?" I'd have to say yes. Anything that provides me with material for a new blog post is always helpful.

Note:  See more Pogo posts here. There are quite a few of them now.
