NPR interviewed New Yorker cartoonist Matthew Diffee regarding his latest book Hand Drawn Jokes for Smart Attractive People. The book comes out later this month.

From NPR:

On The New Yorker’s rejection rate

It’s classically bad. … We’re supposed to turn in 10 gag ideas, you know, at a sketch level. And on a really good week they’ll buy one. So 90 percent rejection is doing great.
