Summary:
Widely considered to be the pantheon of single-panel cartooning, The
New
Yorker
cartoonists' styles are richly varied, and their personal stories are surprising. Gehr'
s
book features fascinating biographical profiles of such
artists
as Gahan Wilson, Sam Gross, Roz Chast, Lee Lorenz, and Edward Koren. Along with a dozen such profiles, Gehr provides a brief history of The
New
Yorker
cartoon itself, touching on the lives and work of earlier illustrating wits, including Charles Addams, James Thurber, and William Steig.
