Terrible short stories. Sad tales about sad people. And the articles! Talk about burying the lead. You can to finish the article before you know what it’s about. However, the cartoons are good.
Hmmm, well IMHO, The New Yorker is one of the best and most sophisticated magazines in the country. But it’s just too much to read from cover to cover every week and still get anything else done.
i would like a “cliff notes” version of the NYer (many of the articles are just too darn long with details I really don’t need to wade through)—though the medical articles are generally fascinating, and some of the humor pieces are good (and some not so funny); and i am addicted to the cartoons!

It’s always a treat to read a new TMCM! Glad you’re still at it, Shannon.

Without the cartoons, nobody would read the New Yorker.

It’s the same with Hustler. Sure the chicks are nice but it’s the cartoons that make it.

Yay, more TOO MUCH COFFEE MAN, and a tip of the hat to The New Yorker, to boot! (Though I confess the cartoons are my favorite part. :-))
