About Me
- Roy Delgado
- Petersburg, WV, United States
- After graduating from Tucson High School in 1953 I attended the Billy Hon School of Cartooning in Los Angeles. I then joined the U.S. Marines for four years, and ended up in Washington, D.C.. After getting honourably discharged, I enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art where I studied figure drawing. In 1976 I founded and was CEO of a 34 man sign company specializing in Trade Show Decorations, Exhibits and Signage for the largest 100 Associations in the U.S. We later expanded and added an electrical sign division where we designed and manufactured electrical signs for many Fortune 500 companies. The company was sold in 2oo2. I now draw cartoons passionately full-time from my mountain-top home and studio in wild & wonderful West Virginia. My cartoons have appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest, etc. and recently Playboy magazine where Mr. Hefner just purchased 15 colour cartoons in May and June of 2007.

that holds this issue of cartoons from the NYer.
NONE of these cartoons are funny. The only one I think is worth anything is the Bliss cartoon for at least being somewhat creative.
I understand the cartoons perfectly - they're just not funny. If they're not supposed to be funny, then they should at least be creative in their comment about something. They're not.
I think this is the basis of your frustration with the NYer. You see the majority of their stuff is BLAH (though it likes to fancy it's BLAHness as high brow sophistication) and you think I KNOW my stuff is as least as good of better than what they're printing.
It's true. That's the whole point...it has nothing to do with the quality of your work. There's some other factor - who knows what, it could be anything. It could be that your first name has three letters and so does Bob's.
Figuring out the NYer is a mystery. I think when Mankoff steps down you'll have a better chance.

Dan, I think everyone agrees with you, at least all the cartoonists I know, including myself . . Their magazine cartoon department, I think, is going through a metamorphosis . . has been so, for quite a while . . could be up for debate exactly HOW long . . " ALL YOU CAN DO IS ALL YOU CAN DO " and " IT IS WHAT IT IS " and " IT AIN'T WHAT IT AIN'T " are tools that I use which enable me to examine the situation as it is and help keep me from going mad.
As Socrates said: " KNOW YOUR DOMAIN OF IGNORANCE. " helps . . and KAHLIL GIBRAN, The wise poet and prophet said " DO NOT BE A SOLVER OF RIDDLES. "
I think they had in mind situations like The Cartoons of The New Yorker of this era and other similar enigmas, don't you ?
