Draw Upon Yourself

I just had a conversation over the kitchen table with Michael Maslin, a New Yorker cartoonist. We also happen to be married. This is a regular feature of Seeing Things, a short podcast in which we chat about the biz, creativity, Brussel sprouts and our marriage, all of which intersect from time-to-time.

The quote we mention is this:

“The world likes humor, but it treats it patronizingly. It decorates its serious artists with laurel, and its wags with Brussel Sprouts.”

—E.B. White, 1941 from Subtreasury of American Humor.

This is Michael’s drawing which we reference at the end of our conversation.

Thanks for listening!
