A New Yorker Cartoonist Explains Drawing Rats and Pigeons | The New Yorker

[@bobbibricks6023]

This guy is a delight and his mastery of expressions is fantastic.

[@jedinec1]

Delightful look into the artist's head. :)

[@bringiton5282]

I am in love with this man.

[@lizahko9261]

they were flirting the entire time lol

[@andgo1400]

I wish it were the authors of the cartoons who would decide on the winning captions in The New Yorker Caption Contest. The "showtime" caption was excellent for the mouse cartoon.

[@geoffdundee]

Pigeons are amazing and beautiful when you study them and each and every single one is different..........They are so funny to watch too when they strut about or looking to mate......Many many years ago i done an oil painting group of 5 or 6 Pigeons on a window sill all with different poses - it sold the same day i put it in the gallery for sale - that was a nice surprise.

Never seen a woman with a bigger crush

Wow this has made me want to study animal anatomy to make my drawings so much better.

[@JamesGWall]

This series is great. Do all New Yorker comics have to have the grey tones?

[@dw2062]

Ooh. She is a BIG fan 😁

[@ramenmcminecraft190]

His shapes look really organic. I guess it helps when you studied zoology.

Today I learned Canadians say "sorry" so much that The Apology Act was passed in 2009, declaring that an apology can't be used as evidence of admission of guilt.

[@scottlidstone1902]

yeah sorry about that...

[@danthomas6587]

Rats are NOT vermin!

[@KarmasAbutch]

Thank you OMG - I’m 10 seconds in and had to stop to rant about that first lol. They’re Doves! *tantrum*

[@MarcosIsABaritone]

Ooo, she's cute!

[@helenemakaya2580]

Eza qui toko te

[@AB-gn8oh]

Pigeons aren’t vermin.

[@normicall]

u are tho

[@curtisdaniel9294]

Have you not heard the description of pigeons as "rats with feathers" ? If not, you are out of the vermin loop.

[@AB-gn8oh]

@@curtisdaniel9294, yes, I’ve heard that. Humans have impinged on the natural habitat of birds like pigeons and gulls, so that some people have decided to call them vermin, but that doesn’t make it true.

[@AB-gn8oh]

@@normicall, sad that saying that probably makes you feel good.😂😂😂

[@curtisdaniel9294]

@@AB-gn8oh it was part of a joke by an aging comedian who is out of favor these days for other reasons.

[@anceolausasa267]

Very happy 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
