This was brilliant.
Amen. And it's still funny.
I'm still a New Yorker supporter. I just read a lengthy article on Chesterton for christ's sake, and there are still funny cartoons. Mom always got it and one of her last acts was renewing the subscriptions she sent me and my sister each year. I intend to keep it coming in her memory.
Me too, for my dad. I used to get his stale copies; he died May 3rd , the week his subscription ran out. I just refilled one for myself at the professional rate: $45 for 2 years. I pretty much read every frinkin' word with complete contempt & relish, like I read nearly everything else . Ren loves the cartoon caption contest. His best one so far was: "Ragnorak says the Qlipoth needs new snow tires." Prosit!
and how! but you did have to go back 7 years. i told my mom to let my subscription run out. her mom was a charter subscriber and only cancd her sub at age 92 when she moved in with my mothers sister who also had a sub. much can be read online free now. and the cartoons havent made me laugh in a long long time. also i got my mom the complete new yorker on cds and she gave it back. she doesnt like to read on her computer.
