David Sipress

David Sipress’s first cartoon appeared in The New Yorker in 1998. During the 2012 Presidential election, he was newyorker.com’s first daily cartoonist. His work has also appeared in the Boston Phoenix, Time, Parade, Playboy, Funny Times, the Washington Post, Harper’s, Gastronomica, and Shambhala Sun. Sipress has lectured on the art of the cartoon, and he was the writer and host of “Conversations with Cartoonists,” a series of onstage interviews with many of the artists who contribute to The New Yorker. Sipress has contributed both fiction and nonfiction to The New Yorker, including “A Nineteen-Fifties Jewish-American Christmas Story,” on how his family celebrated Hanukkah and Christmas simultaneously, and “How to Survive as a Cartoonist in Trumpland.” His memoir will be published in the spring of 2022.
