Due to a clerical error (in other words, I messed up), the count of new cartoonists in the time frame beginning with Emma Allen’s cartoon editorship in May of 2017 to the present was in error. It’s been corrected.
The old (incorrect) totals were:
New cartoonists brought in under Emma Allen, May of 2017 – November of 2020: 76
New cartoonists brought in to The New Yorker stable in 2020 alone: 23
The updated corrected totals are:
New cartoonists brought in under Emma Allen, May of 2017 – November of 2020: 77
New cartoonists brought in to The New Yorker stable in 2020 alone: 24
