Our friends at The Millions have two great posts about New Yorker news: one on that Joyce Carol Oates hubbub, and another on Matt Diffee and co.’s (including Newyorkette) new book, The Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw, and Never Will See, in The New Yorker. I’ve read it, and I can honestly say it’s pretty damn funny, especially the full-page questionnairs Diffee had the cartoonists fill out about themselves. Being cartoonists, they often veer outside the lines, and being jokesters, they often defy the question or just draw a silly picture instead.
