Weekend Spill: Donnelly “Seeing Things” Podcast #4; The Tilley Watch Online, November 13-17, 2023; John Ruge Original Drawings Auctioned

Donnelly “Seeing Things” Podcast #4

The fourth in a series of short (13 minute) podcasts by Liza Donnelly with this cartoonist.

From Ms. Donnelly’s description of the episode:

“Another episode of a conversation between two New Yorker cartoonists, myself and Michael Maslin. We happen to also be married, so hopefully it makes for an interesting back and forth. No fight broke out.

Today we had to talk about Thanksgiving, but we also talked about catching ideas, caption wrestling, killed cartoons and other gems.”
