Out now is The New Yorker’s Cartoons of the Year 2012. This issue, or bookazine as it’s called in the Introduction, is 144 pages, with over 250 cartoons. It will remain on sale until February 18, 2013. This is the third year the bookazine has appeared. Previous to 2010, The New Yorker produced the Cartoon Yearbook ( a hardcover collection) in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
Featured this year are three spreads, “One More Trip Around the Sun” by Roz Chast, “Bad Dog” by Peter Steiner, and “Gay Marriage” by William Haefeli. Other special sections include “The Best of The Caption Contest” and “I Don’t Get It” as well as “The Funnies” — Bob Mankoff provides the Introducton.
As it did for Cartoons of the Year 2011, Ink Spill is providing a complete Index of Cartoonists for this new edition. Completists might want to print it out and tape it inside the back cover.
Note: An asterisk appearing next to a cartoonist’s name indicates that the cartoonist has a drawing appearing in the “Best of the Caption Contest” section (and…forgive the spaces between several of the names. Example: between Flake and Friedman . Sometimes my wordpress has a mind of its own)
