CBS Sunday Morning Profiles The New Yorker

CBS News (especially CBS Sunday Morning) has truly been a broadcasting friend to The New Yorker over the years. It has profiled our current Cartoon Editor, Emma Allen, as well as the great cartoonist, George Booth and, some years back, a married New Yorker cartooning couple, as well as simply showing us an assortment of cartoons from time-to-time.

This Sunday Morning takes a look at the magazine itself as it celebrates its centennial.

Was very pleased to see footage of my long-time colleague, Bruce Diones in the magazine’s library among the scrapbooks.

And here’s a screenshot of the magazine’s current editor, David Remnick, moving in on what looks to be a display of covers to be included in the 100th anniversary issue.

Liana Finck (above left) was in conversation with Liza Donnelly this past week at The Society of Illustrators, where they discussed Ms. Finck’s latest book, Mixed Feelings, among other things.

The Society is currently the home for the exhibit, Drawn From The New Yorker: A Centennial Celebration.

Coming this October from Knopf, Selected Letters Of John Updike, edited by James Schiff.

Mr. Updike went off to Harvard, enthralled by The New Yorker and  wanting to become a cartoonist. He brought along a Thurber dog drawing with him as he moved along in life. His writing about cartoons is a delight.
