One of The New Yorker's most popular, and eerily prescient, comics has just fetched a whopping amount of money at a recent auction.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The most popular comic in the history of The New Yorker just broke a major record. Since 1925, The New Yorker has published some of the best writing and journalism in America, as well as hilarious comics. In 1993, The New Yorker featured a comic that was highly prescient and quickly found its way into pop culture. Now, the original version of that comic has set an all-time record.
Heritage Auctions, a major auction house, featured the cartoon on their website. First published in July 1993, the comic by Peter Steiner features two dogs at a computer. One, with his paws on the computer, turns to the other and says: “on the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” Steiner’s original copy of the comic has fetched a record 175,000 dollars at auction after being the subject of an intense bidding frenzy. This amount set a new record for a sale on a single panel comic.
Steiner's Cartoon Had an Ironic Beginning “On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog” is an internet phenomenon. Released just two years into the World Wide Web’s existence, the comic predicted the pitfalls of the internet era. Peter Steiner, who had been a regular contributor to The New Yorker for 14 years at the time, had different intentions for his comic.
Steiner's Cartoon Predicted the Future At the time The New Yorker published the cartoon, the internet was still largely the province of techies and scientists, although that was rapidly changing. The development of web browsers, as noted by Heritage Auctions, brought more and more people online. Heritage also stated that the historic Mosaic browser was just a few months old at the time, and Netscape was still a year away.
