Sam Gross, who has been contributing since 1962, has more than 12,000 rejected cartoons. (Seriously. He's been numbering every single cartoon he's ever submitted to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e since the very beginning.) Enter editor Matthew Diffee. He tapped his fellow cartoonists, asking them to rescue these hilarious lost gems. From the artists' stacks of all-time favorite rejects, Diffee handpicked the standouts -- the cream of the crap -- and created \u003ci\u003eThe Rejection Collection\u003c\/i\u003e, a place where good ideas go when they die. Too risqué, silly, or weird for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, the cartoons in this book offer something no other collection has: They have never been seen in print until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With a foreword by \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e cartoon editor Robert Mankoff that explains the sound judgment, respectability, and scruples not found anywhere in these pages, and handwritten questionnaires that introduce the quirky character of each artist, \u003ci\u003eThe Rejection Collection\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to fans of \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e...and to anyone with a slightly sick sense of humor.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Gallery Books","offers":[{"title":"Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw, and Never Will See, in the New Yorker | Matthew Diffee | Hardcover | 9781416933397 | Used: Good | Back Stacks F 1744075","offer_id":48199547715736,"sku":"1744075","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/41NIeIX8VAL.jpg?v=1772560921","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/rejection-collection-cartoons-you-never-saw-and-never-will-see-in-the-new-yorker","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
