Before Bob Mankoff was the New Yorker's cartoon editor, he had a two-decade career cartooning for the magazine. Here's a great example of his art from 1990, selling, it would seem, for a song.
Note: Attempted Bloggery is always looking for original art by Bob Mankoff to share with an increasingly humorless world.
As of tomorrow, Emma Allen will be the New Yorker's new cartoon editor. For those who wish to view this change in its proper historical perspective, I present the magazine's complete roster of art editors and cartoon editors since 1925.
From Mr. Geraghty's time to 1993, the art editor was responsible for covers and cartoons. Since 1993, the art editor has been responsible only for covers and the cartoon editor has been responsible only for cartoons.
Rea Irvin, art supervisor, 1925-1939; art director, 1939-1951
James Geraghty, art editor, 1939-1972
Lee Lorenz, art editor, 1973-1993; cartoon editor, 1993-1997
Françoise Mouly, art editor, 1993-
Bob Mankoff, cartoon editor, 1997-2017
Emma Allen, cartoon editor, 2017-
