Detailed Information Bob Mankoff, cartoon editor of The New Yorker and president of The Cartoon Bank, is one of the nation’s leading commentators on the role of humor in American politics, business and life. He edited The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker (Black Dog & Leventhal), the best-selling coffee table book for holiday 2004, featuring all 68,647 cartoons ever published in The New Yorker since its debut in 1925. He describes this as the golden age of humor, where humor helps build personal connections in business and personal relationships. Mankoff has edited dozens of cartoon books, published four of his own, and is an accomplished cartoonist. In fact, over 800 of his cartoons have been published in The New Yorker over the past 20 years, including the best-selling New Yorker cartoon of all time (the harried businessman at his desk with a phone to his ear, reviewing his calendar and saying: “No, Thursday’s out, how about never. Is never good for you?”) He is the author of The Naked Cartoonist, a book published in 2003 on the creative process behind developing magazine-style cartoons.
