Bentley Roberts, an Ink Spill visitor, has done some spectacular sleuthing these past months, going through all the New Yorker cartoons, beginning with the very first issue of the magazine. Because of his efforts, Andre Francois and Abner Dean have been added to this site’s New Yorker Cartoonists A-Z section.
Until Mr. Roberts emailed me yesterday I was unaware that each of these New Yorker cover artists had published a drawing in The New Yorker.
Mr. Roberts also came across a cartoonist unknown to me, Alberto Fremura, who had two drawings published in the magazine: August 13, 1960 & September 24, 1960. Mr. Fremura (pictured below) has also been added to the A-Z.
