It’s a real kick to see a couple of my cartoons, previously published in the New Yorker, also printed in their 2023 Day-to-day Calendar. This desk calendar has tear-off sheets so you can have a new cartoon practically every day.

Above is the first one of mine, which I originally wrote about here. Below is my second drawing in this upcoming year’s calendar, which I also mentioned here.

I can show you the calendar, by the way, when I am at The Mercantile this Sunday, December 11, with my son Tom as we sign copies of our new cartoon book, Zeitgeist Meetup. It’s a compilation of cartoons written by Tom, who does occasional standup in Brooklyn after working at NYU, with drawings by me. I hope if you’re in the area you stop in at The Mercantile between 1 pm and 3:30 pm. If you still need to do holiday shopping, The Mercantile has tons of delightful items so you can also pick up some gifts after you chat with Tom and me. And I’ll have some of my funny holiday cards too, if you need to send a chuckle to any friends this season. Please stop by!

At the front and back of Zeitgeist Meetup I included some pages of the sketches I did for all the cartoons in the book – here’s a sample below – just gives an idea of the process we went through in developing the gags.

Congratulations on having your art in the New Yorker Calendar. That’s awesome!
Thanks, Glenn!
Confetti!, Pat…They have impeccable taste.
Thanks Nanda! (waving at you!)
(Waving back atcha) dear Pencil-pal!
Oh almost forgot – I love looking for the elves in my JL Advent Calendar! I haven’t looked today but I think they are getting harder to find!
I think so, too; I’ve only found 5 of them – and one caught my eye because he’s wearing a jester’s cap. 😀
Yes I think I saw him – I like their little dances!
Congratulations! This is great news!
Thanks very much! –Pat
Wow! This is impressive.
Thanks very much, Henry!
