Gehr's book features fascinating biographical profiles of such artists as Gahan Wilson, Sam Gross, Roz Chast, Lee Lorenz, and Edward Koren. Along with a dozen such profiles, Gehr provides a brief history of The New Yorker cartoon itself, touching on the lives and work of earlier illustrating wits, including Charles Addams, James Thurber, and William Steig.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 741.56973 Ge Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 741.56973 Ge Checked In Add Copy to MyList
