Happy 100th birthday Sir David Attenborough! When I drew this cartoon, I put a lot of thought into which animal would have which job, but not a lot of thought into the design of this room. I'm sure Sir David has a much nicer bedroom in real life. #humor #cartoon #newyorkercartoons #animals #wildlife #documentary #davidattenborough #giraffe #tortoise #gazelle #toucan

It's National Cartoonist's Day, so here are a few never before published cartoons about animals, because National Animals Day is every day. #nationalcartoonistsday #newyorkercartoons #birdsongs #jeffersonstarship #webuiltthiscity #petportrait #squirrel #dogs #breakfastanytime
