Researching Friday’s WEREWOLF Night! I’ve encountered novelty songs, sitcom episodes, comic books, and some surprising political rhetoric having to do with Werewolves.
Today I’d like to examine Werewolf Cartoons In The New Yorker.
As of this writing, I have not located any New Yorker Cartoons that tackle lycanthropy.
So for all you cartoonists out there, here are some suggestions for mildly amusing, single-panel New Yorker cartoons:
Werewolf in Therapy
Werewolf at Job Interview
Werewolf in book club
Werewolf in small cafe reading a book whose title references a recent trend in publishing

“Definitely the pinot with banker.”

“Now he’s ravening his own work.”
