Bruce Eric Kaplan, known as BEK, is an American cartoonist whose single-panel cartoons frequently appear in The New Yorker. His cartoons are known for their signature simplistic style and often dark humor.

Quotes by Bruce Eric Kaplan (?)

“One of my earliest memories is sitting on my father's lap, watching Here's Lucy, a Lucille Ball situation comedy on CBS that began with a dancing little doll Lucy. The credits would come on, and at the end, the little doll Lucy pulled back a stage curtain, revealing the real Lucy. Although I wasn't able to put it into words then, I think what i found so compelling about that moment each week was the expression of truth - we are all just little dolls of ourselves who occasionally pull back the curtains to reveal the real us.”

“As anyone in their right mind knows, we are our problems. The only solution is for us to do something different.”
