I mean, picture this: You're in the middle of reading a very important article in The New Yorker, and then you're laughing because you got distracted by a cartoon, and you have to go to the bathroom because of all the laughing ... come on people, please keep the humor at a minimum.

Bob Mankoff

The New Yorker is synonymous with the magazine cartoon, ... and this extends the brand because we've jumped out of the magazine and on to the Internet. We've also made it possible for someone to download a cartoon into a PowerPoint presentation or read a customized book (of cartoons) about dentists.

Bob Mankoff

[The Web site also gives the creator a way to fight back against the sense that you are only as good as your last cartoon.] I've done 600 cartoons for the New Yorker , ... Now I feel like I'm as good as my last cartoon, and my first cartoon, and every one in between.

Bob Mankoff

People often say, 'We'd like to do something in The New Yorker that's never been done before,' but we have high standards. There are some ads we don't accept if they break the format of the magazine.

That was one of the elements. Just getting older and also I'm a New Yorker, so 9-11 on a broader level had something to do with it.

But this is on a more personal level.

It elicits a moment in history. Being a New Yorker and living among immigrants, it really warms your heart that this opened doors for so many generations. It enabled so many opportunities not only for the people that were coming, but a future for their descendants.

Larry Rosen

I reckon he's fantastic. The only thing he needs to do is learn to bowl good length. He's not bowling his yorker enough. The way I understand is that they're being coached to concentrate on the top of the off stump.

Brett Lee

Mortality! It's intimations of mortality. I'm 58, and by that time, more people you know have died. My mother died a few years ago. And being a New Yorker, 9/11 had a lot to do with the mood of the city.

Donald Fagen

The mayor has reached out to every community, every ethnic group and every New Yorker.

For me, there was no escape.

People who see a drawing in the "New Yorker" will think automatically that it's funny because it is a cartoon. If they see it in a museum, they think it is artistic; and if they find it in a fortune cookie they think it is a prediction.

Saul Steinberg

The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker.

Robert Mankoff

All press seems to open doors to other press. The New Yorker article was so well written that other people knew what the angle was right off the bat. News media is a cascade. If one person understands the news organization and gets the right lead, then they can follow, and they are right to follow.

Marty Goldensohn
