We learn from a recent eBay sale that the late Danny Shanahan (1956-2021) produced an undated demonstration sketch on a large sheet of newsprint dedicated to one Charles. It has been framed, which gives an indication of the esteem in which the owner held it. A 2002 New Yorker cover by the cartoonist was added under glass at the lower right, giving us a small clue as to the sketch's date of origin. The drawing depicts a man, perhaps Charles himself, committing a bank heist while a Computers 'R' Us truck serves possibly as a high-tech getaway car. The man dashes nimbly down the steps in front of the bank. The specific name on the truck could very well have something to do with Charles's occupation, which is presumably not bank robber.
