Relief from Cartoon Withdrawal

Time was when the New Yorker was truly a weekly news magazine which you could trust to publish a reliable 52 issues per year. Nowadays they tinker with the count by publishing several double issues annually, with the result that no new issue is published on certain Mondays--why, for example, today! The problem with this scheme, of course, is that the millions of readers eager to peruse their weekly batch of cartoons are denied this pleasure, and must go through a sort of cartoon withdrawal with all the potentially serious medical consequences the condition obviously implies.

January 31, 2023 Update:  To remedy this dire situation to at least a small degree, I originally put together a little collection here of past cartoons from the magazine. These were circulated by The Cartoon Bank back in 2007, so enough time had passed for them to be enjoyed once again, or perhaps for the first time. The original links are all defunct now and I never copied the cartoons, so you'll have to find your relief from cartoon withdrawal elsewhere, perhaps on this very blog.
