Laugh until you cry if youre into the New Yorkers cartoonsBy ArielI already owned this book; but got it for my father for Christmas; since hes a New Yorker aficionado. I dont think he put it down until he finished it; morning; noon; and night; sometimes laughing so hard he was crying; and reading several of them out loud to me. If you like the New Yorker and are "into" their cartoons; youll love this book. Some of them are a little edgy or even offensive; but thats why; well; they never got printed in the magazine. I will buy this book again for other people. Probably better for you if youre already into the New Yorkers cartoons.7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Better Cartoons; Worse Questionnaire Than Vol. 1By Diego BanducciIf youve gotten to this page; theres a good chance youve either seen or bought the first volume; The Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw; and Never Will See; in The New Yorker.I thought the cartoonists responses to the questionnaires in the first collection provided a fascinating look into the creative mind. In this volume; the questions seemed more convoluted and the answers more conventional.The cartoons; however; struck me as being funnier in this volume. Two of my favorite cartoonists (Sam Gross and Gahan Wilson) are featured in both volumes.If I could only buy one; I would buy the first volume; but both collections are enjoyable.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Fun and entertaining but a bit short on content.By Joshua TalleyThe Rejection Collection Vol. 2 is fun and gives a bit of insight into cartooning for The New Yorker; but it doesnt have as many cartoons in it as you might expect. Many of the examples are full-page cartoons; which seems unnecessarily large; given that almost all of the cartoons in the magazine are much smaller. Still; its entertaining; just less so than the size of the book might lead you to believe.
