This summer marks the ninth anniversary of Ink Spill. The Spill began back in the summer of 2007 out of a desire to collect and share information about my New Yorker cartoonist colleagues, past and present. It’s been beyond rewarding to see the site grow in viewership, with over nineteen million hits recorded in these past nine years. This happily reflects the interest out there in what we cartoonists have done, are doing, and will do.
As I have in the past on these anniversary posts, I thank my extended New Yorker family for their support and contributions, and I thank all of you out there for dropping by to see what’s up, and for your suggestions, contributions and comments. Your interest makes this all worthwhile.
Lifting a line from E.B. White’s Comment on The New Yorker’s ninth anniversary in 1934: “It is fine to be nine.”

Happy anniversary to one of the most rewarding cartooning sites on the Internet!
Congrats, Michael!
