New Yorker Cartoon Issue

posted: January 3, 2008

I was commissioned by the New Yorker to do a 2-page strip for the 2007 Cartoon Issue. They wanted something about Queens being the new Brooklyn. So I came up with this. I really loved working on it and was looking forward to putting my neighborhood (Jackson Heights) on the national map. But... they yanked it at the last minute. I still got paid, so I didn't mind so much, plus they gave me the rights to print it someplace else. Any magazines out there want to run it? Here's a more readable version.
