A classic noir setup with a gloriously absurd twist, this Tom Toro cartoon, which was published in Playboy in 2017, turns the old-timey detective trope inside out. The shadowy office, trench coat, cigarette smoke, and femme-fatale client all feel straight out of a 1940s mystery—until the revelation lands with perfectly timed, deadpan punchline.
Beautiful, full color, original cartoon art created with Archival ink pen, pencil, watercolor, white-out on 14" x 11" Bristol vellum paper. Excellent condition.
