The Weed of Cartooning Bears Bitter Fruit (2)

At Boing Boing Rusty Blazenhoff writes of rejection.
Specifically Drew Dernavich and his pile of cartoons rejected by The New Yorker.

…That search led me to Brooklyn-based Drew Dernavich (and, boy, I sure am glad I found him!). On top of The New Yorker, he’s been published in Time, the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and other well-known publications. He’s also a graphic recorder, aka a “visual note-taker.”

On February 6, he posted this photo. It shows the reality of his business as demonstrated by two piles of paper: his rejected cartoons and his accepted ones

After posting the photo of accepted v. rejected submissions Drew began selling the rejects to those interested; naturally Rusty was interested.
