Ivan Brunetti Original Art for New Yorker Comic Strip

Ivan Brunetti Original Art for New Yorker Comic Strip in Collectibles, Comics, Original Comic Art | eBay

Ivan Brunetti has generously put a piece of original artwork up on eBay to help pay the cost of printing Linework 4. The illustrated comic up for auction, titled “Things Were Better When They Were Worse,” ran in the December 21, 2009 issue of The New Yorker. Tell your friends! By the way, it appears that Ivan has a 100% approval rating on eBay! Impressive.

The auction ends April 23, 2013!

Making these strips for the Chronicle has been exciting especially in the reactions and comments I get from them. Special thanks to the Chronicle and comics editor Chris “Elio” Eliopoulos for the opportunity.

That’s it! Thanks for viewing.
