New Yorker Cartoonists

No issue of The New Yorker would be complete without the cartoons sprinkled throughout its pages. The magazine has featured cartoons since its inception in 1925, and some of the most important talents in American humor have contributed cartoons in the ensuing eight decades. Three current New Yorker cartoonists—Pat Byrnes, Roz Chast, and Ed Koren — discuss and deconstruct the elements essential to the magazines famous cartoons and particular brand of humor. The New Yorkers cartoon editor Robert Mankoff moderates.
