Roz Chast is one of the best New Yorker cartoonists ever. EVER.



Coincidentally, DU is located very near this same intersection.

I came across a link to a video of Steve Martin interviewing Roz Chast. It's a highly enjoyable half hour-ish as they look at lots of Chast's drawings from her latest book, Theories of Everything, and talk about where her ideas come from.

One of the best parts is when they display a Chast-drawn version of a stylish living room featured in Architectural Digest. Another best part is the series of psyanka-inspired eggs Roz painted obsessively for a time, for no reason except that she felt like it.

Here are screencaps of some of my favorite cartoons they showed, captioned for legibility:



*Fights to the death subject to availability. Many restrictions apply. Blackout dates: January 1 through December 31st. Any cartoonist you prefer is fine by me. Please don't hit me.
