Dual Congrats To Peter Kuper
A double congratulations to Peter Kuper, who began contributing to The New Yorker in 2011. Mr. Kuper is celebrating the 47th year of publishing World War 3, an annual comix and graphic magazine.
” Founded in 1979, by Seth Tobocman and Peter Kuper, World War 3 Illustrated was among the first American magazines to treat comics as a medium for serious social commentary and journalism.”
And… Mr. Kuper was recently the recipient of the 2025 Science Communication Award from the Entomological Society of America. The award “honors impactful and innovative communication projects or programs that engage diverse public audiences with entomology-related scientific information.”
