David Sipress to speak on cartooning and the New Yorker

David Sipress, a New Yorker cartoonist, will give a talk titled “Get it? The Art of Cartooning and the New Yorker.”

More than 250 cartoons by Sipress have appeared in the New Yorker since 1998. His cartoons and editorial illustrations have also appeared in Playboy, Harper’s, The Funny Times, Utne Reader, The Washington Post, and Spectator of London, among others.

He is the author of eight cartoon books and the producer and host of “Conversations with Cartoonists,” a series of live interviews with some of the leading artists of the New Yorker, staged over the past year in New York City.

The event is on Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 8 p.m. in Lawrence Hall, room 231. It is free and open to the public. Should be an entertaining evening.
