The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker

Opis książki:

What could be better than a gigantic 656-page collection of 2,004 (get it?) of the best cartoons published in the New Yorker over the last 80 years? Perhaps a double CD set with all 68,647 cartoons ever published in the magazine-complete with a nifty search function that allows readers to search for cartoons by year of publication or by cartoonist`s name. This improbably large offering is a bonanza of wry Manhattan-centric comic commentary on urban life and much else in American culture over the years. There`s Peter Arno`s 1948 ink-and-wash cartoon of a mildly concerned matron, book in hand, asking her newspaper-reading husband, Is there a Mrs. Kinsey? Or Peter Steiner`s now famous cartoon drawing of two dogs chatting in front of a computer. On the Internet, says one canine to the other, nobody knows you`re a dog. The book offers an introduction by New Yorker editor David Remnick and short essays introducing each decade-which readers may want to read after perusing the cartoons first-by such New Yorker luminaries as Roger Angell, Lillian Ross and John Updike.
