Your Tailor & Your Rise

Cartoon by J.C. Duffy - The Rejection Collection

J.C. Duffy (his blog here) writes and draws two syndicated newspaper comic strips, The Fusco Brothers and Go Fish. Prior to the debut of the former in 1989, he worked in newspaper illustration and had an extensive line of greeting cards and related products. His books include Moot Points and four Fusco Brothers collections. His cartoons began appearing regularly in The New Yorker in 1998. He lives in Philadelphia.

I had no idea anyone this funny lived in Philadelphia.

C'mon JT...W.C. Fields was from Philly ferchrissake.....and Larry Fine of the Stooges...and Bill Cosby....David Brenner...Joey Bishop(born in the Bronx) but raised in South Philadelphia.....not like you to make such an specious generalization.
As an aside...I cannot get enough New Yorker cartoons...often just brilliant stuff.

Very observant of you. Kittie does indeed like a pointy toe.

It is the use of the name Herbert that makes this truly funny. Love it.

All the cartoons in the New Yorker are brilliant even the ones that are a bit obscure. On another matter aren't we due a health bulletin. "The king's life is moving slowly to a close" or something?

Start calling Main Line Sportsman "The Bass": always takes the bait.

As they'd say in Philly, "We're just breakin' balls here."
