From Mental Floss, “Changing Parenting Attitudes, As Seen Through New Yorker Cartoons”
— Indiana University sociologists “examine cultural feelings about parenting through cartoons published in The New Yorker between 1925 and 2006”
Note: The New Yorker collected a bunch of its kids cartoons back in 2001 (with a Jack Ziegler cartoon on the cover).

The exhibit is online indefinitely and I’m planning exhibits in Alaska, New Jersey & New York City.”
A number of New Yorker artists are represented including Tom Toro, Barry Blitt, Bob Staake, Peter Kuper, Felipe Galindo (feggo), Rich Sparks, and R. Sikoryak. Go here for all the info, and a list of all the artists.

…Nice to see: The Gothamist posted this about Ellis Rosen’s current New Yorker cartoon. Visit Mr. Rosen’s website here.
…Visitors to The New Yorker‘s Daily Cartoon will probably note that it has been revamped. The now defunct version featured one of the magazine’s cartoonists work for a number of weeks (sometimes months). This new version abandons the one cartoonist model and presents a variety of cartoonists work within the week.
…Here’s another favorite photo from Jack Ziegler’s memorial last Saturday at the Society of Illustrators. We see Roz Chast working on some tiny paper shirt constructions (yes, tiny shirt constructions), with Edward Koren looking on. The Spill will post scans of the shirts in a few days.
