For all those lovers of the New Yorker Cartoon (and Cartoonists), this is shaping up to be quite a week.
How About Never — Is Never Good For You? a memoir by The New Yorker‘s cartoon editor, Bob Mankoff, is just hitting the bookstores, and now we have a brand new website, bobmankoff.com to spend time in/on/with. Mr. Mankoff has hundreds of his New Yorker cartoons available to view (helpfully categorized) as well as a “best of” section of his NewYorker.com blogs [full disclosure: one of them, Cartoon Bibles, is mine from a guest blog appearance], and he promises non-newyorker.com blog posts to come. Of particular note for those wishing to see Mr. Mankoff at a book signing or lecture is an area devoted to upcoming appearances (of which there are many). So go and have fun exploring: bobmankoff.com
Finally this week, as noted in yesterday’s Ink Spill, “60 Minutes” will broadcast a segment on New Yorker cartoons & cartoonists this coming Sunday (tomorrow). This is truly must-see tv for New Yorker cartoon aficionados.
