Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!

The big news seems to be that the “gold” Trump phones are finally shipping, and, as Jones says in his commentary, that should bring down the curtain on the jokes about them, or at least on the jokes about them not existing. We can still joke about them not being made in the USA as […]

The other day I was thinking about Edward Sorel‘s famous New Yorker cover featuring a punker riding in a hansom cab — you know, the one that received a huge amount of attention because it marked the beginning of Tina Brown’s short reign as New Yorker editor.

Sorel’s cover got me to wonder about other New Yorker covers featuring a hansom cab. I would’ve guessed there’ve been at least a half dozen over the years, but I found — having just revisited The Complete Book of Covers From The New Yorker: 1925-1989 (Knopf, 1989) — the number is two. Now if we started counting covers featuring horses, well…that would be a much much bigger number.

It’s possible there was a stray hansom cab cover, post 1989, but I doubt it (please advise if you know of one).

Below are the two known (to me) New Yorker hansom cab covers. The first one was also used as the cover of The New Yorker’s Fifth Album of Drawings (Harper & Brothers, 1932).

In one of those interesting interesections, my copy, sans dust jacket,  of the Fifth Album was given to me by Edward Sorel. The Album’s dust jacket was later given to me by Chris Wheeler, thus completing the set of dust-jacketed New Yorker Albums in the Spill library.

Julian De Miskey’s April 2, 1932 cover:

And this one from Robert Kraus, December 2, 1961:

Hansom cabs, cartoons-wise: it would take a lot (a whole lot) of searching to discover how many there’ve been. The magazine’s database turned up just one, and the hit was incorrect (the lone result was for a Ralph Barton drawing in the July 10, 1925 issue. The Barton drawing is there, but there’s not a hansom cab in sight). However(!), looking through that July 10, 1925 issue, I did find this:

Dave Brown, staff cartoonist for the UK’s Independent, has been let go from the newspaper after 30 years. From Dave Brown’s X/Twitter account: The final cartoon; after just under 30 years and something over 6,000 cartoons @Independent are letting me go to save a few quid! Thanks to everyone who followed me and for all […]

To prove I can do other stuff, I did my first Inkscape art, a hedgehog. They are quadrupedal insectivorous mammals that hibernate in the winter and roll around.

Growing up in remote Nova Scotia, Kate Beaton may not have a wealth of comic art surrounding her, but as you’ll read below, she found inspiration from a variety of sources. And that foundation has served her well as she’s become an award winning cartoonist, children’s book author, and non-fiction graphic novelist.For those not familiar […]

When Margaret Brown set out to direct a four-part docuseries about a horrific and then-unsolved quadruple homicide in Austin, Texas, she never expected that — just a few weeks after the final episode aired on HBO — detectives would crack the case. The Yogurt Shop Murders, which premiered last summer, revisited the 1991 killings of […]
