J. C. Duffy: "I Never Forget a Face"

J. C. Duffy's original cartoon was published in the New Yorker in 2004 and sold on eBay by the artist just this year. The gag is set at a bar and begins with a common cliché, but then it takes an unexpected turn.

"Wait. I never forget a face...Easter Island, 1722!"

Cartoons from The New Yorker 2017 Calendar

Today in my local Barnes & Noble I spotted the Cartoons from The New Yorker 2017 Calendar. Pictured on the outside of the box is a modern masterpiece by cartoonist Jack Ziegler. On the inside, who knows?

November 6, 2016 Update:  My wife bought me a copy.


Note:  Jack Ziegler is the subject of a brand new interview on Ink Spill. Catch Part 1 and Part 2.

I'm always looking for original artwork, souvenirs, doodles, and variants by Jack Ziegler and others of his ilk. If you've got something you'd like to share publicly, get in touch. Did I really just say ilk?
