More than a few of you asked about Sophie’s cross-stitched masterpiece of Morris at the bottom of last week’s email. (He was clearly rapt) Here’s a closer look at her handiwork…

The New Yorker Turned 99 This Week!

To mark the occasion, I wrote up my notes from last year’s 98th birthday party at the World Trade Center:

Dinner with the Gerbergs

Mort and Judith Gerberg were back in New York for a minute, so we got to join them for dinner. You can learn more about Mort here:

My friend Leith shared this story from Australia and it struck me that it was a story I’d already read before…

GameStack

This Week’s ToonStack’s Newsletter featured a lot of Game Show cartoons.
In celebration of America's biggest game... and show... the Superbowl, I've drawn a cartoon featuring three of the most important people in the sport. (My friend Darren, who is a choreographer, was excited to pose for the last one.)

SURVEY SAYS!

This week’s Sketchbook is a warm-up sketch I did of Worf from Star Trek as a swan. Thanks to Ronny Chieng for the stupid idea.

Aaaaand here’s one from a wedding I was drawing at on Sunday.

While I do love the convenience of an iPad/Wacom/Xenselabs tablet… I can’t ever replicate the joy of using analog tools. I’m launching a new Substack called “Process Junkie” to explore all of the joys of the Process of making art. If you’re interested in that kind of thing, you can sign up here.

Until next time,
Your pal,
