The Cartoon Takeover

It was an exciting week in The New Yorker cartoon world, what with the arrival of the magazine’s first ever Cartoon Takeover issue (covered here last Monday). For everyone who says that the first thing they turn to in the magazine is the cartoons, you had a lot to turn to.

Read about the issue in this piece, “The Cartoon Department Coup” by Emma Allen, The New Yorker‘s cartoon editor.

Fingers crossed this special issue becomes a yearly thing, leading up to the magazine’s super-duper anniversary in 2025.
