Some Favorite Walt Handelsman Mardi Gras Cartoons

Hearst Together



The Hearst Report celebrating 2024 showcased cartoonists (Hilary B. Price), newspapers (Times Union), and comics (Popeye) among their listed achievements and milestones for last year.
The New Yorker Cartoonists Centoonial Party

There’s something distinctly New Yorkery about celebrating the centennial of its most iconic magazine at a secret underground club in Tribeca, where bookshelves open to reveal secret rooms, and cartoonists collide with debutantes.
The unofficial New Yorker cartoonists’ party to celebrate the centennial year began at Maxwell Social at 7:00 PM, by which time most of the attendees had already spent their day shuffling between galleries displaying a century of illustrated wit.

Last week was the New Yorker’s 100th birthday, and I (together with cartoonist Ngozi Ukazu) planned a weekend of events just for the New Yorker cartoonists.
Only a handful of the (hundreds of) cartoonists got an invite to the limited-capacity, official New Yorker party
So on a day in late January we took it upon ourselves to DO WHAT IT TOOK to celebrate all of the cartoonists properly … and within a couple of days, the event website was up and the RSVPs were coming in.
