Edward Koren Mousing Around

Cartoonist Edward Koren made this full-page original drawing of a mouse in a copy of The New Yorker Cartoon Album 1975-1985. Tomorrow the long-time New Yorker cartoonist is to be appointed the State of Vermont's new Cartoonist Laureate. Vermont is the only state with a Cartoonist Laureate; Alaska had one a few years back, but hasn't kept up the appointment. The idea, when you first hear it, seems so obvious it's brilliant. Even more obviously brilliant is the choice of Ed Koren. They really know how to govern up in Vermont.
