Inked: Cartoons, Confessions, Rejected Ideas and Secret Sketches from the New Yorker's Joe Dator (Hardcover)

From inspiration to conception and all the trials in-between.

Inked is a collection of cartoons from one of the New Yorker's most beloved cartoonists.

Filled with more than 150 of Dator's single-panel cartoons, this lively, quick-witted book betrays a deadpan sense of humor.

But Inked is more than a book of cartoons. Dator also dives into the creative process, offering bonus commentary on how ideas have come to fruition, how one idea has led to another, and the various attempts to get an idea right. Along the way, he shows how a spark of imagination has turned into a laugh-out-loud moment with only a single image and caption, and how other attempts have found themselves on the cutting-room floor.
