I was hoping for timeless humor about dogs, but these cartoons mostly felt rather dated and stale.

Never had a pet dog, but this made laugh hard.

A little souvenir from New York: a delightful collection of classic dog cartoons featured in The New Yorker over the years. 🐶😍

Coming out in 1992, fairly early in the string of New Yorker themed cartoon books but two years after their book of cat cartoons came out which seems unfair to dogs – maybe they knew more cats than dogs were New Yorker readers. Anyway it’s a pretty good collection, definitely dipping into the vaults for material – James Thurber is the cartoonist with the largest number of pages, Addams and Steig get decent representation too, along with plenty of later artists.

Another book read in the interest of emptying my shelves in preparation to move. I liked all of these cartoons, and found it interesting to compare them. I had always paid attention to content more than signature, but the different artists have very different styles. My favorite was Charles Barotti's Sparky.

This year marks 15 years since my parents gave me this book as a gift--and in all that time I've read it again and again and it never gets old! When I pulled it out last week to read while brushing my teeth, I nearly spewed mouthwash it was so funny (all over again)

This book is a win. It has some of finer things life can offer, New Yorker comedy + dog. Just perfect.
Such great coffee table reads.

Algunos de los chistes de estas caricaturas me sacaron risas en voz alta incluso estando solo mientras las leía. Ojalá todos hubiesen tenido el mismo nivel.

I love New Yorker cartoons and love their dog cartoons especially. Cleaning off my bookshelves so decided to read through this and donate it. Many laughs!
