    About this ebook

    A charming, irreverent treasury from the cartoonists at The New Yorker

    Money doesn't just make the world go round—it spins it upside down, inside out, and out of orbit. Now, thanks to the world's most brilliant cartoonists, it also makes us giggle, chuckle, chortle, and laugh out loud. In The New Yorker Book of Money Cartoons, Second Edition, the cartoonist and cartoon editor of The New Yorker Robert Mankoff brings together over a hundred classic images that show the influence, power, and occasional insanity of money.

    • Features over 100 cartoons—new and old—from the pens of cartooning legends including Charles Addams, George Booth, Victoria Roberts, Roz Chast, Leo Cullum, Jack Ziegler, Gahan Wilson, and many others
    • Includes a hilarious introduction by David Sipress
    • Newly revised to include cartoons that touch on today's most pressing money matters

    Capturing the myriad ways money informs, confuses, and sometimes takes control of our lives, The New Yorker Book of Money Cartoons is sure to tickle your money bone.

    I developed this attitude about money as a boy, around the time I first decided that I wanted to draw funny pictures for a living—funny pictures like the ones I saw in The New Yorker when it arrived every week at my family’s apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
