Tuesday Spill: Happy 92nd Edward Frascino!; Donnelly’s 92NY “History Of The New Yorker Cartoon” Pt.2 Is Tonight; Pub Day For Steve Martin’s “Number One Is Walking,” Illustrated By Harry Bliss

                      Happy 92nd Edward Frascino!

 

 

 

 

 

All best birthday wishes to the terrific New Yorker artist, Edward Frascino, born on this day in the Bronx (“near the zoo”). 

Mr. Frascino’s first New Yorker cartoon appeared in the issue of September 4, 1965. He is the magazine’s third longest active contributor, just behind Edward Koren who began contributing in 1962, and Mort Gerberg, who began in April of 1965. 

 

Mr. Frascino’s cartoon collection, Avocado Is Not Your Color and Other Scenes of Married Bliss (Penguin, 1983) is a must-have for any New Yorker cartoon library.
