The New Yorker Online has started a blog called Cartoonist of the Month, and logically enough, it will feature a different cartoonist each month. Mick Stevens gave the blog a brilliant start in January (it starts here); February continues with Michael Maslin. The idea is to give some depth to the persons behind the scribbled signatures: Stevens included a video tour of his studio, new cartoons, and even an account of life as a cartoonist based on Moby Dick. Um, you’ll just have to read it. As a long-time fan of NYer cartoons, I’m stoked and will be visiting often.
