Newsletter Of Interest: Bob Eckstein’s “The Bob”
This is the first in a Spill series noting New Yorker cartoonists who publish newsletters; it’ll appear from time-to-time.
Bob Eckstein‘s been contributing to The New Yorker since 2007. I first met him around that time when he was putting together his really fab book, History Of The Snowman. He contacted me asking if he could reproduce a drawing of mine (I said “yes”). That initial connection has turned into seventeen years of an ongoing conversation, mostly about cartoons and cartoonists, but other stuff as well. In 2012, when he sent me his unpublished book, The Sea Below Us, I became a fan of his humorous writing. He’s a free-ranging humor writer; playfulness with language abounds.
Lucky us: his humor-centric musings on cartoons, cartoonists, writing, politics, events, books, and so much more (including lots of cartoons), are available on his Subtack newsletter, The Bob.
Bob Eckstein’s latest book, Footnotes From The Most Fascinating Museums, was published in May by Princeton Architectural Press.
