The New Yorker‘s Cartoons of the Year 2013 is out. It features more features than the previous three installments — it says as much right there along the top of the cover. There are indeed more “features” with a number of single page contributions (Bob Eckstein, Drew Dernavich) as well double page graphic spreads as in past years (one by Zachary Kanin, one by Ben Schwartz, and another by Shannon Wheeler). The magazine’s “Daily Cartoonists” have their say as well, commenting on the months they toiled to provide fresh material each day. And finally, Bob Mankoff tells us how to win the magazine’s caption contest (oh, and Ink Spill makes an appearance with a look at its One Club).
