They are all lovely, charming, even thought-provoking. Gotta love Irvin's chaos-causing cheapskate magician. Your man-pets-dog is sweet; both got something out of it, as it should be. Bounding-dog-in-the-tall-grass is delectable, funny and sympathetic. Who among us wouldn't love to just bound around for no particular reason these maddening days? 🤨
I used to see these smallish drawings in the New Yorker, like in the space at the end of a story or article; a few pgaes later, there would be another one, by the same artist, and then another a few pages later. There was a sense of progression, of sequence, with the final one being sort of a conclusion, though not necessarily like a humorous punchline. Do they still print those? What are they called?
I loved those little bits! and my desk drawer is filled with them. sometimes I feel The New Yorker is changing faster than I can adjust. I started subscribing in college and am 85 now, so I will toddle on with T N Y.
Thanks; I loved this post. I especially enjoyed your latest sequential. It reminded me of visiting Glenstone Museum in Potomac, Md.; it's so quiet there and the main attraction is the outside grounds and art pieces strewn around the grounds. It is such a vacation day to visit!
So agree…we just spent the day at the Honolulu Museum of Art…we live on Oahu. It is our go to for a relaxing day and a wonderful lunch in their outside dining room. Mary Cassatt will be next month’s exhibit…can’t wait!
I like all of these---my two favorites are Otto's and your last one. Can't get over how much movement and life you get in your drawings---I can feel that joy!
Liza, you have a knack for whimsical "still animations." Something magical about a story unfolding panel by panel usually without the need for words. As someone once said, "The problem with words is, you can't communicate with them." But your simple line drawings can speak volumes, with a chuckle.
My dog, Lacy and I are walking down to the local cafe and bar to hear live music. My husband went to a freeway baseball game at Anaheim Stadium. I love all the sequential drawings. Thank you.
Thank you, I needed that. 😉😉

Thank you! I love wordless drawings.
So good to see your earlier work. Otto Soglow’s “Little King” was part of my growing up.
Me too! He started that King in The New Yorker!
Soglow's cartoon made me laugh out loud! as did the dog in the grass. thanks!
Thank you!!

Oh no! Someone stole Soglow's double bass!
That was fun!!! :-)
Lovely. Airy. Sweet. Sequenti-cle. Universal. Feel good. Appreciated. Thanks.
In your last sequential cartoon.... I am reminded of the walk my husband and I take around the yard every evening. It gives us a similar feeling.
Delightful! Please do it again.
