Spanning the years from 1938 to 1998, this delightful collection of cartoons about business features the cartoons of many of America's favorite cartoonists, including George Booth, Roz Chast, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Edward Koren, Gahan Wilson, and more. Robert Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker, selected the cartoons from the magazine's archives and David Remnick, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and editor of The New Yorker, starts things off with a wonderful introduction.

About this title

Review:

For many of us, our first memories of The New Yorker date back to childhood, when we would eagerly search through this otherwise impenetrable jungle of words to find the only thing that we could relate to--the cartoons. The New Yorker Book of Business Cartoons is a collection of 110 of the best drawings, selected by New Yorkercartoon editor Robert Mankoff, that lampoon the world of business.

The cartoons date from 1938 to the present and include the work of The New Yorker's finest artists, including George Booth, Peter Arno, Roz Chast, Bruce Eric Kaplan, Leo Cullum, and William Hamilton. Whether they aim at the rise of women in business, our anxieties about the stock market, or the foibles of the corporate America, these cartoons seem always to hit the spot in subtle and disarmingly simple ways. This collection reminds us of just how uniquely funny the art of The New Yorker really is, and why the cartoons are the first and sometimes only things we read each week. As New Yorker editor David Remnick says in the introduction, "They are perhaps the most important thing The New Yorker publishes." --Harry C. Edwards

About the Author:
