A charming play on restaurant seating sections in this original hand-drawn cartoon by Robert Weber published in the New Yorker on December 10, 1990. Some great detail as well, particularly in the Maître d's suit. Weber reveals his politics a bit with the caption: "Non-smoking, pro-choice, beginning to question our military presence in the Persian Gulf, and not too near the kitchen, please."
Charcoal pencil on card stock. The speaking restaurant patron's head appears to be a paste-up. Minor white out visible throughout the drawing. This piece, along with the hand-written caption, is matted and framed in a simple dark wood frame measuring 14.75" x 16.25". The visible image is 10" x 11.5". Excellent condition. Sold in frame.
