For nearly a century, The New Yorker has served as the definitive arbiter of American wit, and The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker stands as the most comprehensive tribute to that singular tradition — gathering every single cartoon ever published in the magazine's storied history into one magnificent volume. Edited by the magazine's own cartoon editor Robert Mankoff, with a foreword by editor David Remnick, this monumental collection presents over 68,000 cartoons spanning from the magazine's founding in 1925 through to the modern era, showcasing the full breadth of visual comedy and social satire that has made the publication iconic. The collection illustrates not only the evolution of American humour and graphic art, but also the shifting cultural, political, and social landscape of the twentieth century as seen through the pens of legendary contributors — from James Thurber and Charles Addams to Saul Steinberg and beyond. Mankoff's expert curation champions the cartoon as a legitimate and powerful art form, one capable of skewering the powerful and illuminating the absurd in equal measure. Whether you are a lifelong devotee of the magazine or a newcomer to its legendary back pages, this volume promises to leave you wondering how one nation produced so much genius — and what on earth they will think of next.
