Rejected New Yorker Cartoons

Possible new book purchase, or at least perusal: The Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw, and Never Will See, in The New Yorker.

So I decided to collect the best rejects from a number of my friends and colleagues — all regular New Yorker cartoonists, but all of whom, like me, have nine out of 10 of their submissions rejected. I gathered them together into a book, “The Rejection Collection.”

Why were these particular cartoons rejected? I can’t say for sure. I guess some were too racy, rude or rowdy. Some are too politically incorrect or too weird. A few are probably too dumb.
