Bill and Audrey's Copy of The New Yorker Book of Dog Cartoons

Did I mention that Bill and Audrey were, apparently, friends with New Yorker cartoonist George Booth?

School Days: Cartoons from The New Yorker

School Days:  Cartoons from The New Yorker is a 2010 Cartoon Bank collection, one of many that have eluded me—until now. When I found a copy selling for just $4.00 on AbeBooks with free shipping, I seized the opportunity of adding it to my library. The book is much like the other Cartoon Bank books but smaller, perhaps a salute to the diminutive Eustace Tilley in Michael Witte's cover illustration or else a tacit acknowledgement that these books were getting more expensive to produce.
