New Yorker cartoons about dead people

I’ve written elsewhere that I’ve been doing Morbid cartoons for a very long time. Bob Mankoff, editor of the New Yorker, spoke once and said that a great percentage of cartoons submitted to the New Yorker are about death! The New Yorker  doesn’t buy or publish that many…but that doesn’t stop depressed cartoonists from churning them out. 🙂

In this case, I can’t say that I have a grudge against any college teacher, but I think we all want to do our tutors (and elders) proud on how we turned out. For the corpse in the cartoon, he didn’t turn out as well as he had hoped.

My latest cartoon for PsychCentral is about a woman’s secret fear on a busy street.

Here’s how to buy this or any Morbid cartoon for powerpoint, magazines, advertising, newsletters, blogs, textbooks, zombie collections, mortuary houses, funeral homes, cemeteries, etc, or you can just use the Paypal form in the Buy tab.
