A New Yorker Best Book of 2022
The long awaited first collection by Will McPhail, with over 150
cartoons, including his New Yorker classics and new gems.
With his shrewd eye for mundane absurdities and hysterically astute
drawings of animals, Will McPhail is the New Yorker's most distinctive
cartoonist. His cartoons delight in the everyday anxieties of modern
life, skewer contemporary politics, and cut to the core of the most
bizarre human behaviors.
Now, in McPhail's first collection, new cartoons mix with old favorites:
mischievous mice and opportunistic pigeons offer portals into McPhail's
crackling curiosity, while Lady No-Kids' adventures continue with
high-flying glee. With chapters ranging from the contemporary to the
universal, and a classic black and white interior that evokes the
timelessness of the craft, Love & Vermin proves why Will McPhail is
one of the most cherished cartoonists of his generation.
