New York Said

Bob Mankoff of Esquire share his experiences at The New Yorker and being a Cartoonist

Bob Mankoff of Esquire share his experiences at The New Yorker and being a Cartoonist

Today’s guest on the show is Esquire’s Cartoon and Humor Editor, Bob Mankoff.

 

I had the opportunity to visit Bob at the Esquire offices and we had a serious conversation about humor. I mean we really had a lot of fun just breaking it down into little tiny philosophical and theoretical morsels and then putting it back together again.

We also talked about his position at Esquire, augmenting human creativity, two cool cats, the balls to be funny, submitting cartoons, intense logic studies and much much more.

When you get a chance, head over to Apple Podcast or the iTunes store and subscribe to New York Said. You know what, while you’re there, leave a comment, rate and let us know how you feel about the show.

Your feedback is always appreciated.
