The Monday Tilley Watch takes a glancing look at the art and artists of the latest issue of The New Yorker
The Cover: dinner & dragons
The Cartoonists And Cartoons:
The Caption Contest Cartoonists: Lonnie Millsap, Michael Maslin, Hilary Campbell
Seventeen new cartoons, twenty cartoonists, including the contest cartoonists. (Liana Finck has a Sketchbook). No newbies. Two duos, that we know of.
The longest active cartoonist contributor in the issue is this cartoonist. A cartoon appears by the late great Edward Koren, who passed away in April of 2023.
The Rea Irvin Talk Watch:
Not so very long ago, in the Spring of 2017, Rea Irvin’s perfect Talk Of The town design (shown directly above) was carted out and replaced by a redraw(!). Read more here.
The Spill continues to hope the real deal, as designed and drawn by Rea Irvin, will return.
