For a century, the "New Yorker" has set the gold standard for cartoon humour.

Since it was founded in 1925, the New Yorker magazine has set the gold standard for cartoon humour. Their roster of artists includes James Thurber, Peter Arno, and of course, Peter Steiner, who holds the record for the most reproduced cartoon of the last 50 years, which has earned $250,000 since its publication in 1993.
