Enlarged Skin

Leo Cullum was a giant among New Yorker cartoonists, publishing 819 cartoons in the magazine from 1977 to the time of his untimely death in 2010.  In his obituary, the New York Times observed his penchant for "clueless doctors" and we're lucky to have this fine sample, published on April 21, 1997.  

Sharpie pen and black ink wash on 11" x 14" Bristol Board.  New Yorker production sticker, artist's personal stamp, caption and date in the artist's hand, and a few production notes on the reverse side.  Excellent condition.

Leo Cullum's original New Yorker work is extremely rare.  This piece derives from the private collection of his family.
