The Tilley Watch: The New Yorker, March 11, 2019
In this week’s issue…
The Cover: There’s nothing quite like dogs romping in snow, as they are on Gayle Kabaker’s cover. Visit her website here.
The Cartoonists:
The Cartoons:
1. Liz Montague makes her debut in the issue. Ms. Montague is the fourth cartoonist to debut this year, and the twenty-eighth new cartoonist brought in since Emma Allen became the magazine’s cartoon editor in May of 2017.
2. There are two — count ’em, two — desert island drawings in this issue. One by Tom Chitty, and the other by Pia Guerra (it appears on the Caption Contest page).
3. Applause Applause: Lars Kenseth’s couple in previews (p.53) and Farley Katz’s undersized load (p.67).
The Talk Of The Town Masthead:
