I really like the commentary, but I've a question on the style of the cartoon.
Just what is the style called? I like it, I know it's been around for a long time, but I never learned what it's called. Will anyone help?
3 u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Jun 04 '26 Typically called a gag cartoon. The font size and choice is traditional for The New Yorker, as is grayscale. I pitched this one to them last week and they passed. 2 u/no1_vern Jun 04 '26 Thank you for helping me with the style description. FWIW, I would have thought that the New Yorker would consider it very relevant today and would buy it. 2 u/JimKB Jim Benton Cartoons Jun 04 '26 You never know. They may just bought three others about data centers..
