The Monday Tilley Watch Takes A Glancing Look At The Art & Artists Of The Latest Issue Of The New Yorker
The Cover: by J.J. Sempe who passed away earlier this month.
The Cartoonists & Cartoons:
Twelve cartoons, fifteen cartoonists. (J.J. Sempe has the cover; Edward Steed is the Spots artist). There is one duo, that we know of (the Spill counts duos as one cartoonist). No newbies.The longest active contributor in the issue (providing the week’s caption contest cartoon) is this cartoonist.
The Rea Irvin Talk Watch:
The above iconic Talk design by Rea Irvin was 86ed in May of 2017 and replaced by — gasp! — a redraw. The Spill continues to hope that the real deal returns.
