these days, the New-Yorker cartoons have become way too cynical and depressing. Even for me, a Parisian.

This is technically a parody of the famous “View of the world from 9th Avenue” cover from 1976, but yes, it is hardly bleaker than real stuff from the New Yorker lately.

The original is a masterpiece, from an amazing artist. It’s been ripped off so many times that it’s good to see what it really looked like.

Which itself was a rip-off of the “A New Yorker’s Idea of the United States” from 1937.

Seems to be a humerous parody of the original

I like this one much better, because New Jersey doesn’t resemble a demilitarized zone.
