{"product_id":"9780761168669","title":"The Best of the Rejection Collection: 293 Cartoons that Were Too Dumb, Too Dark, or Too Naughty for The New Yorker","description":"It’s the best of the worst: 293 of the funniest cartoons rejected by \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e but luckily for us, now in paperback and available to enjoy. \u003ci\u003eThe Rejection Collection\u003c\/i\u003e brings together some of \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker’s \u003c\/i\u003ebrightest talents—Roz Chast, Gahan Wilson, Sam Gross, Jack Zeigler, David Sipress, and more—and reveals their other side. Their dark side. Their juvenile side. Their sick side. Their naughty side. Their outrageous side.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd what a treat. Ventriloquist dummy cartoons. Operating room cartoons. Bring your daughter to work day cartoons (the stripper, the prison guard on death row). Lots of couples in bed, quite a few coffins, wise-cracking animals—an obsessive’s plumbing of the weird, the scary, the off-the-wall, and done so without restraint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery week \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e receives 500 cartoon submissions, and rejects a great majority—mostly, of course, for not being funny enough. There’s no question why these were rejected, and it’s not for lack of laughs. One can almost hear Eustace Tilley sniffing, \u003ci\u003eWe are not amused.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Workman Publishing Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077345329392,"sku":"9780761168669","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780761168669_p0.jpg?v=1769903618","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780761168669","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
