A woman is having a yard sale. This front lawn and the side lawn are just covered with crap. Busted washing machine, chair that's like all in tatters, maybe some exercise machinery and a million bottles. And, you know, just like what you see when somebody has like a particularly large and junky yard sale. And this couple is kind of looking and the caption is, there's more inside.

Oh, God, it's just so great. It's so great. Oh, there's tires. George Booth is a, was a beloved cartoonist for the New Yorker for many decades. I think George Booth brought a different world to New York. into the New Yorker cartoons. It was definitely not New York.

It was definitely not so-called sophisticated people going to the theater or, you know, wearing fashionable clothing or anything like that. They were from... a small town someplace in the United States, just going about their very, very strange business of grocery shopping or taking baths or some sort of situation where a miniature horse is running around the living room for some reason.

One of the things that I love about George Booth's cartoons are the drawings themselves and the attention to all of the details that set the stage for the joke. One of my favorite examples of this is this cartoon of his, of this father in a car with his two doofus-y sons crammed all into the front seat. They're in a parking lot of a grocery store.

And meanwhile, the mother, her grocery bag has dropped on the ground. Everything is rolling away. The bag tore. The grocery cart is smashed into a parking meter. And... Two rabid looking dogs are barking at her. You know, there's clearly this like grocery store, post grocery store crisis going on. And the father is saying to the sons, one of you boys go help mom with the groceries.

It's just the greatest drawing ever. George and I met in the offices at the New Yorker in the, oh, I'm guessing it was sometime in the mid 80s. Back in the day, people brought their work in in person. And so that's when I met George Booth. He was tall and kind of goofy looking. He sort of reminded me of his cartoons. I was in awe of him because I loved his cartoons for so many years.

And I have to say that when I first started, some of the old guys... didn't want to talk to me. I think maybe because I was very young, maybe because I was female, maybe I think also they didn't like my work. It was just too different from what they were doing. But George was always nice. And he was a great laugher. He laughed at his own stuff. He laughed at other people's stuff.

And he was so true to himself. you know, from the beginning to the end, that to me, that was, you know, encouraging. It was like, you know, you follow your guide, you know? The piece of his that just knocked me out was Ip Gisagal. It's a two-page, episodic sort of story. It's not just one panel with a funny line. It's an actual story about Ip.
