Mischa Richter: Canine Considerations

A dog seen in the original art to a 1988 Mischa Richter's New Yorker cartoon rethinks his traditional relationship with humanity. Things were rough back then. What on earth would the dog think today? More to the point here, why should a cartoon that's kept its relevance for thirty years remain so undervalued by the market?

Note:  Why is some New Yorker art so undervalued? Perhaps it's because it's still relatively underappreciated. Attempted Bloggery seeks to educate the public on the artistry that goes into New Yorker cartoons. I am eager to publish scans and photographs of original cartoon art by Mischa Richter and other New Yorker artists. Please see what you can do to help. My dog will thank you.

Yesterday's blog post about  a faux Peter Arno drawing was mentioned on Ink Spill, a blog about New Yorker cartoonist news and events written by Michael Maslin, Arno's biographer. His book Peter Arno: The Mad Mad World of The New Yorker’s Greatest Cartoonist (Regan Arts, 2016) is available on Amazon now for a ridiculously low price here.
