Post whatever y’all want in the comments. Self-linking is so welcome I’ll pull out the good plates that I don’t normally allow my friends and family to use.
I really like this New Yorker cartoon by Jack Ziegler, in part because it seems un-New-Yorker-cartoon-ish in technique (the way that a single scene is divided into multiple panels to drag out the timing). Plus, is the man on the sofa watching himself on TV, or just someone who looks similar?
Also, Tetris vs Contra.
And, here I thought Abe Vigoda was going to be in the last panel.
This is an amazing and distressing story about two Nedas, the appropriation of images in the digital age, and how the killing of one woman led to incredible upheaval in the life of another who didn’t even know her.
I am so glad that you also found the fish cartoon funny. My friend and I were literally crying laughing at it. Even now, weeks later, I can still say, “Yes. That’s right. Fish.” and she will shriek like a little girl. And vice-versa. Sometimes it’s so worth it to read the New Yorker.
