Cartoon show opening in VT June 29th/30th

Jessica Ziegler · Jun 13, 2018 ·


I’m thrilled to have helped put this fabulous show together! The show features 20 New Yorker cartoonists; on Saturday June 30th we’d scheduled a talk with Bob Mankoff, a showing of Very Semi Serious and a panel discussion with Tom Toro, Danny Shanahan and Edward Koren, followed by a dinner at SVC’s Everett Mansion and the Steve Ross Cabaret Concert.

If you are in the area we’d love to see you! More details and tickets at https://artcenter.svc.edu/

To the dogs

Jessica Ziegler · Jan 25, 2018 ·

Jack had long love affairs with his dogs Blanche, Misha and Charley. He was pro-dog, anti-cat. Here are a few unpublished cartoon that I recently added to the originals section that support this point nicely:

You can find all of Jack’s dog cartoons here, and all pet cartoons here. All available originals can be found here.

Now on Instagram

Jack’s on Instagram! I can guarantee he would have hated the entire idea of this.  His handle is jack_ziegler_cartoons if you’re into that sort of thing.

Covers: Hits and Misses

Jessica Ziegler · Oct 26, 2017 ·

Over the 40+ years Jack drew cartoons for the New Yorker, he also attempted several covers. While two were purchased to run as covers, only one actually made it, in 1978:

The piece below was originally purchased in the early 90s as a cover, but ended up running as full-page interior color art in 1993:

Alas! Many chase the elusive New Yorker cover credit. Covers are a sizeable pay increase over interior cartoons, not to mention the ego boost that comes from seeing your work grace newsstands across the country.

Here are a few more unpublished cover attempts from the archives that I particularly liked:

Last month I was thrilled when editor Michael Gerber from The American Bystander (you can get a copy here) asked to use a cover I had shared at the memorial as the cover for their 5th issue. With just some minor tweaks, you can see how beautifully it worked:
