From The New Yorker On The Debate Leave a comment
“At the end of a grim night, this might have been the comic relief we all needed. But it did not seem funny so much as very, very sad,”
Susan B. Glasser wrote about last night’s historic rematch between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. “Is this how democracy dies,
in a shouting match between two seniors about their golf game?”

A Cartoon or An Illustration 1 comment
The New Yorker Cover Story (October 31, 2022) by Sergio García Sánchez
First, let me say I love the work of Sergio García Sánchez. I find it very creative, using clean lines and a lot of symbolism. In the October 31, 2022, issue of The New Yorker, Sánchez uses the backdrop of the Grand Central Terminal for Halloween creators passing through the now busy terminal compared to during the pandemic.
On May 5, 2020, I did a Cartoon du jour posting of the Sánchez cover of Walt Whitman on The New York Times Book Review cover. I first so it as a cartoon, or was it? Was it an illustration? To answer the question, I turned to David Blumenstein, who wrote a posting on Medium, Illustrations vs. Cartoons vs. Comics. What’s the difference, and when do I use each one?
Generally speaking:
Illustrations can tell you what is happening.
Cartoons can tell you how people are feeling.
That works for me, so the October 31 cover is an illustration. Thank you, David.

The science is clear: The world is warming dangerously, humans are the cause of it,
and a failure to act today will deeply affect the future of the Earth.

In this age of coronavirus, we are discovering joy in the minuscule and routine.
Sergio García Sánchez, The New York Times Book Review
I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journeywork of the stars,
And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren,
And the tree-toad is a chef-d’oeuvre for the highest,
And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven,
And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery,
And the cow crunching with depressed head surpasses any statue,
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels,
And I could come every afternoon of my life to look at the farmer’s girl boiling her iron tea-kettle and baking shortcake.
— from “Song of Myself ” by Walt Whitman
