Cartoonapalooza #3: Just Horsing Around

The editor of the New Yorker complained that the magazine's artists can't draw horses. A thrown gauntlet if I ever heard one! WRITTEN and IILLUSTRATED by PETER MOORE

IN HIS EDITOR’S LETTER FOR AN ARCHIVAL ISSUE ABOUT ANIMALS, New Yorker editor David Remnick complained that, in his magazine, “Horses are rare, at least in the visual realm, and generally unsuccessful: no one here, it seems, can draw a proper horse.”

That disparagement includes me, evidently, because none of these drawings was accepted by their esteemed cartoon editors. But hell, horses are fun to draw. Maybe for you to look at, too. If not, just say “neeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiighhhh,” and I’ll resume drawing giraffes, instead.
