A Spill favorite New Yorker-centric blog, A New Yorker State Of Mind: Reading Every Issue Of The New Yorker Magazine is celebrating its 10th anniversary. David O, blogmeister of ANYSOM also announced he was taking a one year break.
Dear to the Spill‘s heart was Mr. O’s call for Rea Irvin’s Talk of The Town heading as well as Mr. Irvin’s inaugural New Yorker cover to return for the 100th anniversary issue in February 2025. The Spill seconds the motion.
Read the 10th anniversary post here.
Happy 10th, David O! (see you in a year).


Thanks Michael Maslin for the shout-out and for your support over the years. Ink Spill is such a joy to read, not to mention an invaluable source of all things New Yorker. And you continue to hit it out of the park with your cartoons. I shall return, and let’s hope the same for Mr. Irvin.
Best wishes,
David Ochsner, ANYSOM blogmeister.
