Quirky stories about city life from a New Yorker Cartoonist & Stand-Up Comic.
Welcome to New York Cartoons!
Each week you’ll get a cartoon in your inbox, some new stories about the insanity of my life in New York, and a new picture of my Frenchie, Morris. I hope you enjoy it. If you want some extra stuff, you can always upgrade.
👋 Hi, I’m Jason.
I’m a New Yorker cartoonist and stand-up comedian originally from Perth, Australia. I’ve lived in Manhattan for 9 years, which doesn’t yet make me a ‘real’ New Yorker. It does, however, mean my diary is full of crazy stories I haven’t shared with anyone. Yet.
When I thought I was going to die in the pandemic, I figured I might start drawing up some of the days and posting them all in one place: Thoughts, stories, observations, rejected cartoons, ideas, travel tales, creative advice, terrible comedy gigs, wins, and disasters— the whole nine!
These stories aren’t in any particular order.
Sometimes they are long. Sometimes they are short. Some of them are made using…
…and sometimes I’m only to able to make them using…
