Charles Barsotti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Barsotti Formerly the cartoon editor of the The Saturday Evening Post, he has been a staff cartoonist at The New Yorker since 1970. His work has also appeared in Playboy and Fast Company, among other publications. A signature artist whose rounded, elegant, sparsely detailed style evokes both the traditional world of a James Thurber and the contemporary sensibility of a Roz Chast.
With his simple repertory — including a nameless but lovable pooch and a monarch whose kingdom consists of a guard and a telephone — Barsotti manages to miraculously dissipate the clouds in people's minds with his unexpected humor.
His work in comic strips includes:
- C. Barsotti's People
- My kind of people
- P.J. McFey
- Sally Bananas (1969-1973)
- Funny Form (1974)
- Punchline: USA (1975)
- Broadsides (1975-1979)
He received the National Cartoonist Society Gag Cartoon Award for 1988 for his work.
