An Ink Spill tradition continues with the posting of an Index for the Cartoons of the Year bookazine. Why an Index you might ask. Mostly because I always enjoyed seeing them in the magazine’s hardcover anthologies (the New Yorker‘s Cartoon Albums) and missed having an Index for these yearly bookazines (they started in 2010). I wouldn’t read too too much into the numbers of drawings you see listed for each cartoonist, but the Index itself is a reasonably good snapshot of the New Yorker‘s somewhat boisterous stable of cartoonists in these last few years.
You’ll see that few of the entries have a “(cc)” beside certain page numbers. The “cc” refers to the Caption Contest. So those particular drawings appeared on the magazine’s back page. You might notice that there’s an asterisk next to Julia Wertz’s name. That’s because her name does not appear on the list of contributing cartoonists found on page 4 of the bookazine. She is, however, included on the Contributors page (p.2).
And here you go:

Cover artist Ricardo Liniers doesn’t get included in the index?
Following the blueprint the New Yorker used in its own anthologies over the years, I only list the cartoonists within the publication, and not the cover artist. Had Mr. Liniers’ work appeared between the covers, in the form of a cartoon, his name would’ve appeared in the Index.
