I know I’m risking turning this blog into the “New Yorker Cover of the Week” affair, but this Adrian Tomine cover is really too beautiful not to mention. So there.

40 Part 34 - Chris Ware Narrates New Yorker

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Chris Ware provided the cover for the November 27, 2006 issue of The New Yorker. Or rather, he provided no less than 4 covers, which form a comic when combined.

The New Yorker gracefully made all covers available on their website, and added a fifth page, which, in true Ware fashion, completed the comic by continuously cramming more panels on a single page.

40 Part 30 - My Ex-barber

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Here’s a comic by Adrian Tomine from the New Yorker, May 2nd, 2005. I remember having this conversation almost verbatim (in Dutch, naturally) with my barber back in my home town, when I was home for summer from University, back in the 80’s.

I was quite addicted to Tomine’s Optic Nerve series at one time, but I got over it, I think. Every time a new issue comes out, I have a relapse, tough…

Here and here are good interviews with Tomine. Read and learn…

Benoit on The New Yorker

Benoit

Once more I would like to draw your attention to the The New Yorker : main : start Magazine. The current issue sports a cover by Benoit Van Innis, one of those rare cartoonists who can draw humorous pictures without a pun. You smile, you smirk, but you just don’t know why.

And he’s Flemish, to boot !

Joost Swarte in The New Yorker

I’ve been a fan of Joost Swarte’s artwork for quite a while, and when I met him earlier this year, I was happily pleased to find out he’s as much the gentleman as his artwork suggest.

It’s not been easy to track down his work recently, not where I live anyway, but luckily people are on the lookout for me.

So here’s a picture Swarte made for this week’s issue of the New Yorker. Enjoy !
