Reviews

[Grace Thrasher · Rating 4 out of 5]

So fun. Bought this at the library book sale this morning. So cool to see what’s remained the same in the last 50 years

[Michael Anderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I was young, I read every New Yorker I could get my hands on, just to read the cartoons. It was kind of like reading Playboy just to look at the naked pictures, articles be damned. The cartoons here are just as I remember them. I don’t “get” them all, but that doesn’t matter. It’s a short, very satisfying read.

It's not quite as fun when the cartoons are more contemporary and I actually know some of what they're lampooning. I like the mysterious quality the early ones have because I don't know much history. But they're still addictive and delightful.

I always enjoy the New Yorker and its cartoons are no exception.

[Victoria & David Williams · Rating 4 out of 5]

Numerous smiles, a chortle, a chuckle (or three), and at least 17 guffaws

Some I understood; some I didn't.
