This week on the podcast we featured a conversation between New Yorker staff cartoonist David Sipress and his editor at Mariner Books, Deanne Urmy. What's So Funny? is David's evocative family memoir, a love letter to New York City, and a delightful exploration of the origins of creativity—richly interleaved with the author’s witty, beloved cartoons. David was kind enough to share his cartoon featuring a librarian:
Check out some of the book's praise:
"An affectionate, introspective memoir from the acclaimed cartoonist.... This addictive, witty, David Sedaris–esque story is a hoot."
—Kirkus ⭐️ review
“Draws on his gift for evoking the predicaments of human nature to tell beguiling stories about his life and career.... Weaving in his impeccable wit and wry cartoons, Sipress illustrates his relentless pursuit to produce work that “express[es] what everyone is thinking and feeling,” all while offering amusing insights into his creative process.... The result is a delightful jaunt through an inspiring artist’s mind.”
