A collection of cartoons that were pulled out of the reject pile of the New Yorker. Some of these it's easy to see why they never saw publications; others, well not so much. Often clever, almost always snarky, occasionally incomprehensible, just like the cartoons that DO see publication. Included questionnaires filled out by the cartoonists, where they demonstrated a lack of reverence even for their own work (a good trait that anyone should be able to emulate) and no deference to the whims of society. Fun, easy to read, a couple of nights right before bed, and you're done. ( ) A number of fun cartoons not fit for The New Yorker - Some duds, though this is not unlike reading The New Yorker An enjoyable collection of cartoons rejected by The New Yorker. Often, this rejection appears to be based on sexual, religious, and scatalogical themes too risque for that august publication. Many feature these images: Small piles of feces, vomit, mutant sperm, gender-bending or cross-dressing males, couples in bed, puppets. If that sounds like a good time, you'll want to take a closer look at this volume. The collection is presented as short folios of each cartoonist's rejecta following a questionnaire filled in by each that is generally more entertaining as a blank form than as a completed document. A good companion piece to Playboy's Kliban, sadly out of print but available here and there on teh intarweb. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesThe Rejection Collection (Volume 1)
Each week about fifty New Yorker cartoonists submit ten ideas, yielding five hundred cartoons for no more than twenty spots in the magazine. Arguably the most brilliant single-panel-gag cartoonists in the world create a bunch of cartoons every week that never see the light of day. These rejects were piling up in the dusty corners of studios all over the country. Sam Gross, who has been contributing since 1962, has more than 12,000 rejected cartoons. (Seriously. He's been numbering every single cartoon he's ever submitted to The New Yorker since the very beginning.) Enter editor Matthew Diffee. He tapped his fellow cartoonists, asking them to rescue these hilarious lost gems. From the artists' stacks of all-time favorite rejects, Diffee handpicked the standouts -- the cream of the crap -- and created The Rejection Collection, a place where good ideas go when they die. Too risqué, silly, or weird for The New Yorker, the cartoons in this book offer something no other collection has: They have never been seen in print until now. With a foreword by New Yorker cartoon editor Robert Mankoff that explains the sound judgment, respectability, and scruples not found anywhere in these pages, and handwritten questionnaires that introduce the quirky character of each artist, The Rejection Collection will appeal to fans of The New Yorker...and to anyone with a slightly sick sense of humor.
