The Cartoon

Had me cracking up early, but kinda lost steam. The whole thing about the lady abusing Jerry was typical Seinfeld real-life parody, but just wasn't that funny. I did like the 'George's girlfriend looks like Jerry' plot, and George's line "I'm in weird trouble" was hilarious in some, well, uh, weird way.

What's the deal with Puddy? I hate Puddy. I hope Puddy gets hit by a bus. He is one of the most annoying characters on the show. I don't know why this guy gets a lot of attention. It's completely undeserved, in my opinion.

Man, I used to agree, but ever since he started high fiving everyone and wearing 8-balls on his coat I've had a change of heart. He cracks me up.

At more than one time in my life I have subscribed to the The New Yorker. The old cartoons were the best. 15 to 20 years back.

New Cartoon Editor at The New Yorker
Jun 4, 1997

Tina Brown, editor of The New Yorker magazine, announced today that Robert Mankoff will become the cartoon editor starting in September.

Mankoff is taking over the job that Lee Lorenz has held for the last 23 years. Lorenz is staying on at the magazine as a consultant and as one of its leading cartoonists.

Lee Lorenz joined the staff in 1958 and has drawn twelve covers and more than fifteen hundred cartoons for the magazine. From 1973 until 1993, he was art editor, responsible for cartoons, covers, illustrations and other art; from 1993 until the present he has been the magazine's cartoon editor. During this period he also published his book, The Art of The New Yorker, 1925-1995 (Knopf), a comprehensive illustrated survey of the magazine's art. He has also published many cartoon collections and children's books.

                       "Working with the artists of The New Yorker has been
an extraordinary
                       privilege," Lorenz said. "In Bob, they will have an
editor who combines the
                       sensitivity of an artist with the resourcefulness of
an entrepreneur. I'm sure they
                       will be as generous and welcoming to him as they have
been to me."

                       In her announcement today, Tina Brown described Bob
Mankoff as "not only a
                       peerless cartoonist himself but also a custodian and
scholar of the art form. And
                       he's riotously funny."

                       Bob Mankoff is not a newcomer to The New Yorker. He
has contributed more
                       than five hundred cartoons to the magazine since 1977.
He is also the founder
                       and president of the Cartoon Bank, a cartoon
licensing, syndication and archive
business that represents more than fifty leading American cartoonists. In
January, the Cartoon Bank was
purchased by The New Yorker Magazine Inc.

Mankoff said, "I've been watching Lee for twenty years, and he has been my model. He's a hard act to follow. In the field of magazine cartooning, The New Yorker is pre-eminent. Its only competition is itself. And I'm looking forward to giving ourselves a run for our money."

"It was exactly twenty years ago this month that I published my first cartoon in The New Yorker," Mankoff continued. "I remember saying, 'Now I can die happy.' What can I say now? I guess I can die happier."
