How About Never -- Is Never Good for You?: My Life in Cartoons #[nn]

Bob Mankoff — longtime cartoon editor of The New Yorker — opens the door on a lifetime of comic artistry in this witty memoir-in-cartoons. The bright orange cover says it all: a caricatured figure (Mankoff himself, it seems) stands in a doorway amid a swirl of cartoon chaos, with a "WELCOME" mat that feels both inviting and a little mischievous. For anyone who loves the art of the single-panel gag, this 2014 volume is a warm and knowing invitation into the mind behind some of America's most beloved cartoons.
