Congratulations! I always enjoy a good art acquisition story that involves a tremendous hunt. This surely qualifies! It’s always great to hear art end up in a collection where it is likely most appreciated by that one collector. And paying “too much” is a matter of perspective – I am sure you don’t consider it to be too much (and glad nobody held you for ransom on the piece). I lost out on a piece in a similar manner 4 years ago and it recently popped up and I snagged it. I was happy to have it, even at a slight premium above market value. Great story!

Congrats to you as well! It really is a cool feeling to finally snag something you regret missing:) Far sweeter than having gotten it the first time!

Thanks. VERY cool to get the piece after the regret the first time around. My situation was slightly different as I was the under bidder on the item and I was willing to go higher so I have kicked myself these years for not bidding my max.

I've had this for over a year but only shared it in CAF now (I totally forgot to scan /upload it).

 

In a nutshell, I got the original art to the editorial cartoon that was published the day of my wedding on May last year.

 

So it's a pretty cool remembrance of that day.

...not sure if it qualifies as "comic art", but the artist also does comic strips in the paper or in other media.
