The Complete Cartoons Of The New Yorker
(David Remnick)
2004

This collection stretches all the way back to the magazine's founding in the 1920s, gathering the best cartoons of every decade, selected by the New Yorker's cartoon editor. Each decade is prefaced by an essay from the magazine's top writers, including John Updike and Roger Angell. In addition, there are short bios of the most prominent cartoonists through the years. But that's not all: the book is packaged with a double-CD set containing every single one of the more than 68,000 cartoons printed in the New Yorker, searchable by year, cartoonist, and subject.
