![]() ![]() ![]() He's been numbering every single cartoon he's ever submitted to 'The New Yorker' since the very beginning.) Enter editor Matthew Diffee. Sam Gross, who has been contributing since 1962, has more than 12,000 rejected cartoons. These rejects were piling up in the dusty corners of studios all over the country. Arguably the most brilliant single-panel-gag cartoonists in the world create a bunch of cartoons every week that never see the light of day. Each week about fifty 'New Yorker' cartoonists submit ten ideas, yielding five hundred cartoons for no more than twenty spots in the magazine. With a foreword by New Yorker cartoon editor Robert Mankoff that explains the sound judgment, respectability & scruples not found anywhere in these pages, and handwritten questionnaires that introduce the quirky character of each artist, will appeal to fans of the New Yorker-and to anyone with a slightly sick sense of humor." Quite presentable & Highly Recommended. Too risque, silly or weird for the New Yorker, the cartoons in this book offer something no other collection has. ![]() The Rejection Collection, a place where good ideas go when they die. ![]() "Each week about 50 New Yorker cartoonists submit 10 ideas, yielding 500 cartoons for no more than 20 spots in the magazine.
