 The New Yorker Cartoonists A - ZWhat follows is a work in progress -- it doesn't pretend to be a complete list of The New Yorker's cartoonists. A complete list is likely impossible as The New Yorker itself has not been able to identify a number of early contributors. Sources: For dates of when a cartoonist began ( and where it applies, ceased ) contributing to The New Yorker, I've cross checked dates using the discs accompanying The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker , the discs accompanying The Complete New Yorker, The search feature on the Cartoonbank.com's site, and where applicable, obituaries, usually in The New York Times. In some cases, the cartoonists themselves have supplied the date. The New Yorker's library has also supplied information, and/or confirmation. For biographical information: In many cases the cartoonists themselves have supplied this information to me. Other sources include obituaries in The New York Times ( and elsewhere), and numerous cartoon anthologies which contain biographical information. Among the most helpful: Colliers Collects Its Wits (Harcourt, Brace & Co., 1941), Meet The Artist (M.H. deYoung Memorial Museum, 1943) The World Encyclopedia of Cartoons (Chelsea House, 1980), The Best Cartoons of The Year 1943, Crown Publishers, 1943), The National Cartoonists Society Album 1996 ( NCS, 1996). I've also relied on biographical information from individual websites operated by cartoonists. As above, The New Yorker's library has in some cases supplied, and/or confirmed information.
Charles Addams Born in Westfield, NJ, Jan 7, 1912. Died Sept. 29, 1988, New York City. NYer work: 1932 - 1988 * the New Yorker publishes his work posthumously.

The drawing was by Rose, the caption by White. Rose also had a Thurber connection. In 1932, Rose submitted a drawing captioned, "Touche!" of two fencers, one of whom has just cut off the head of the other. Harold Ross ( according to Thurber in The Years With Ross) thinking the Rose version "too bloody" suggested Thurber do the drawing because "Thurber's people have no blood. You can put their heads back on and they're as good as new." The drawing appeared December 3, 1932. Al Ross ( Pictured above, 1984) Born Al Roth, Vienna Austria, October 19,1911.
