Why? Because funnies are funny.
最近忙,也没工夫看书,New Yorker 来了也没看。昨天清理东西,偶尔看到了随CD寄来的catalog,是给他们的漫画作广告的,哈哈,笑得我。漫画是最高幽默,幽默是最高智慧。 记住了Saul Steinberg的名字,漫画家,作家,哲学家,等等,等等,有空一定多找些他的东西来看。当然也可能永远没空。

你以为你自己登临绝顶,可以纵观全世界,你以为你身处闹市,实际上我们每个人都是 incredibly provincial ——人都受环境的限制的。知道了自己的局限,然后才可以旷达。

Childproof: Cartoons About Parents and Children

Bad Mom's Cards
这个太好玩了。我一直就知道,the essential feeling of parenting/ motherhood is not love, but guilt. :) 看到别的妈妈也和我一样觉得罪恶滔天,哈哈,如释重负。

New Yorkistan, Dec. 10, 2001
Maira Kalman & Rick Meyerowitz
"New Yorkistan" is the title of the cover art for the 2001-12-10 edition of The New Yorker magazine. It was created by Maira Kalman and Rick Meyerowitz[1] and is according to the American Society of Magazine Editors #14 on the list of the top 40 magazine covers of the past 40 years.[2]. It depicts the boroughs of New York City, as well as individual neighborhoods within the city, giving each a humorous name (a "funny mixture of Yiddish, Farsi, and New Yorkisms"[3]) based on the history or geography of that area of the city, while playfully using names or suffixes common to the Middle East, such as "istan". Thus the title, "New Yorkistan".

喜欢纽约。除了Yankees。这辈子的遗憾:没去DC的政界晃晃,没去NY的商界闯闯。
