Giving Thanks 2021

Turkey Day is upon us once again. This is my special time to give thanks and to offer my help by staying out of the kitchen.
Helen E. Hokinson
The New Yorker, November 27, 1937


I have been writing posts here for more than ten years now, but it's no secret that I am not entirely on my own. In my blogging pursuit I am fortunate to be aided by a dedicated group of knowledgeable readers and contributors with incredible resources and expertise that often seem to perfectly complement what I can provide. I owe so much to each of the individuals listed below for offering their generous help to me over this past year. Friends, I thank you all:


Linda Appleby

Tom Bloom

Daniel Borinsky

Steven D. Brewer

Dick Buchanan

Scott Burns

David from Manhattan

A Friend of the Blog

Joel Jacobus

Stephen Kroninger

David Leopold

Michael Maslin

Jeff Nelson

Joe Petro III

TNBIB

Sally Williams


Note:  Labels that link to posts made possible or more complete by each of these contributors may be found below, with a couple of exceptions. The post on the Lüchow's guest book is itself too full of celebrity names to have room for any contributor labels. Tom Bloom, Joel Jacobus, and David Leopold (the latter apparently through the miracle of Twitter) provided invaluable insights. I have no room below for a label linking to the older post helped along by TNBIB, who provided a valuable update on the topic of Ludwig von Drake cufflinks. Say what you will, no other blog covers these topics.


Last but by no means least, I wish to thank my family, who makes everything worthwhile.

James Stevenson: Lost and Found

Documentary filmmaker Sally Williams is the director of Stevenson: Lost and Found about the exuberantly talented and prolific New Yorker cartoonist James Stevenson. 



The 2019 film may now be screened on Amazon here. (Note that Amazon dates the film to 2020.)



I can attest that I saw it in November 2019 at a screening in Brooklyn, whatever Amazon says, and I heartily recommend it to all of this blog's readers. Ms. Williams has indulged me by sending some promotional film stills:





December 16, 2020 Update:  One more, from @NewYorker on Twitter...





Note:  I am grateful to Sally Williams for providing the film stills, but especially for making the documentary.
