From the Desk of Bob Mankoff: Cartoon Fact-Checking The New Yorker is known for its rigorous fact-checking. Every quote, every detail, every attribution, every everything is checked for accuracy. What’s less well known is that this process extends to the cartoons. In the interest of accuracy, let me state that the process is less grueling when it comes to cartoons. It has to be, to permit wise-cracking animals and plants. But fact-checking is a factor. And this cartoon of Jack Ziegler’s was never published because, I-95 does not, in fact, separate New York from Connecticut. But sometimes the issue is not so clear-cut: This Mischa Richter cartoon was flagged by fact-checking. It’s impossible to be accurate on both counts.

Featuring les magnifiques Manu-xyz, Miss Bambiii et Mady. Je précise à la demande des principaux intéressés que c'est pas vraiment vrai, tout ça, hein. Josy euh... the magic behind the magic Hi everyone! This post is actually about two months overdue, but I kept putting it off in the hopes that I would feel inspired again. I haven’t updated this tumblr in a few months and before that, hadn’t been updating all that frequently. While I still love Disney and adore concept art and appreciate everyone who followed and affiliated and contributed to this blog, I’ve found that I don’t have the passion needed to update this tumblr on a regular basis. This is my official “~closure~” announcement — I say ~closure~ because I’m trying to make this post as not-serious as possible! Thanks so very much to everyone who followed, and I’ll close with a link to the song that started my fascination with Disney concept art: If I Never Knew You.
