The New Yorker Book of Teacher Cartoons: 86 Revised and Updated Edition

The New Yorker Book of Teacher Cartoons is a hilarious compilation of cartoons that capture the joy, terror, excitement, anxiety, fun, and bedlam that teachers experience every day, as seen through the eyes of some of The New Yorker’s best-loved cartoonists.

Featuring more than a hundred contributions that span the magazine’s eighty-seven-year history, this cartoon omnibus takes us inside the classroom, and pokes fun at everything from demanding students to their even more demanding parents.

Compiled by Robert Mankoff, the cartoon editor of The New Yorker, and featuring an introduction by the cartoonist Lee Lorenz, this incisive and very funny collection is a testament to the invaluable work of educators everywhere.
