How About a Little More Coffee, New Yorker Cartoon

Creator: Gahan Wilson
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Interpretation 1: An utterly exhausted man collapses face-first into a diner's countertop. His face and the countertop become one. In contrast and seemingly oblivious to the acute nature of the man's condition, the night server gleefully offers him coffee instead of more appropriate help. Interpretation 2: The night server/psycho killer pours unsuspecting customer poisoned coffee and then taunts his lifeless body in a victorious tone. Like Charles Addams, Gahan Wilson's dark humor is fully displayed in this classic cartoon for the New Yorker and perhaps in one of Wilson's cartoon books for St. Martins Press. Signed lower left. Besides being a great conceptual thinker, Wilson is also a great artist/graphic designer with a style that is unique to him. Unframed. The condition is very good.
