90th Anniversary Book of Cartoons from the New Yorker

The New Yorker celebrated it’s 90th anniversary in 2015, so this is a little outdated but not much. It’s interesting to see the editors perspective on the past 90 years and them distill out the cartoons that they feel represent said 90 years the best.

And then, of course, there’s the cartoons themselves. The New Yorker is known for their clever cartoons, and these are ones that they picked themselves. That doesn’t mean that they are the funniest or political or whatever, but they are all here for a reason. You also get to see the different styles of art that they use, and watch it change over time. Reflected in here is how America has changed over time, as clothing styles and jobs portrayed change and grow.


I mean don’t bother with this unless you like New Yorker comics, but hey if you’re into it this is pretty good and funny. Even if you just like comics, not necessarily of the New Yorker variety, check it out, it’s got some good ones in here.
