New Yorker Cartoon

It’s not very often that you get to have a cartoon made of yourself especially when it’s by a cartoonist from a magazine whose cartoons you LOVE to read!!

Many people love to read the New Yorker Magazine, but it really is the cartoons that make the magazine especially fun.

Farley Katz made the cartoon above for me and I love it!
