Well here it is: the final cover for Black Dog & Leventhal’s upcoming two volume slip-cased New Yorker Encyclopedia of Cartoons. The cover illustration is by Richard McGuire (the pub date is October 2 of this year).
A reminder of what to expect (from the publisher’s website):
3,000 cartoons [in] more than 250 categories of recurring New Yorker themes and visual tropes, including cartoons on banana peels, meeting St. Peter, being stranded on a desert island, snowmen, lion tamers, Adam and Eve, the Grim Reaper, and dogs, of course.


But where’s the The New Yorker Cartoons of the Year 2017 edition?
I miss the annual cartoon issue, which featured new cartoons instead of reprints. I also miss Matthew Diffee, San Gross and George Booth. Where did they go?
