 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.

According to Barlow's obit in The New York Times (Dec. 27, 1977) William Shawn called him "one of the gentlest and most humane of all comic artists...he was also one of our three or four most prolific people." In the same piece, James Geraghty (The New Yorker's Art editor from 1939 thru 1973) said "he often tried to interest Mr. Barlow in publishing a book of his drawings 'but he was halfhearted about it.'" Mr. Barlow's wife, Dorothy Hope Smith, played a role in his work: she colored-in his covers because her husband was partly color blind. Bob Barnes H. Barnes

Charles Barsotti (photo above) Born, San Marcos, Texas, September 28, 1933. Mr. Barsotti was briefly the cartoon editor of The Saturday Evening Post ( from 1968 until its demise in 1969). The New York Times review of his 1981 collection "Kings Don't Carry Money" led with the following:"Thurber lives, in Kansas City under the name of Charles Barsotti." His deceptively simple line drawings of pups and kings, and businessmen have been a presence in The New Yorker for over fifty years. It is likely that Mr. Barsotti is the only New Yorker cartoonist to have ever run for Congress (an unsuccessful bid, in 1972, in Kansas). NYer work: 1962 - .

In Geraghty's NYTs obit (Jan 20, 1983), William Shawn said: "Along with Harold Ross, who was the first editor of the magazine, Geraghty set the magazine's comic art on its course and he helped determine the direction in which the comic art would go and is still going."

Albert Hubbell (photo above, taken in the early 1960s) Born, Duluth, Minnesota, 1908. Died, 1994, Fairfield, Connecticut. After spending time at The Art Students League in New York, and some time studying in Paris, Mr. Hubbell worked for a short time as Book Editor for both Time and Newsweek. He worked briefly at The Chicago Sun before joining the New Yorker where he began contributing to Notes & Comment (his first contribution was in the issue of January 16, 1943), as well as fiction. In the April 22, 1944 issue, he contributed a cartoon (run full page) -- his only cartoon to appear in the magazine. During his last twenty years at the magazine, his contributions were mostly covers - nineteen of them appeared between 1964 and 1985. His distinctive spot drawings also appeared in the magazine for many years. Seemingly foreshadowing his run of covers, he told a reporter from the Wilton (Connecticut) Bulletin in 1961 that "I've been trying -- and succeeding -- in enlarging the spot drawings. Now I'm doing bigger ones and getting away with it." Mr. Hubbell holds a unique position as the only temporary Art Editor in The New Yorker's history, filling in for James Geraghty, the magazine's Art Editor from 1939 thru 1973. Hubbell held the temporary position for the first four months of 1943 while Geraghty was away participating in classes for the Volunteer Officer Corps. It's not difficult to imagine Mr. Hubbell was thinking of his own work when he wrote the following in his introduction to William Steig's 1990 collection, Our Miserable Life: "...graphic art is best dealt with on its own terms -- lines and hatchings and smears and smudges put down on paper to convey a thought about something, or just to create a drawing, like Steig's of a rainy day, for its own sweet sake."

According to Maurice Horn's World Encyclopedia of Cartoons (Chelsea House Publishers, 1980), Beginning in 1910, while working at the New York Tribune, Robinson "exerted more influence on his profession than almost any other cartoonist over the years.

Collection; One Dozen Roses (Random House, 1946). Note: this collection contains essays by Rose on cartoon themes. Especially of interest is his essay concerning Harold Ross, "An Artist's Best Friend is His Editor". Carl Rose will forever be linked to E.B. White for the December 8, 1928 New Yorker cartoon of the mother saying to her child, "It's broccoli, dear." and the child responding, "I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it." 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 Born Al Roth, Vienna Austria, October 19, 1911. Died, March 23, 2012.
