 Every week, hundreds and hundreds of cartoons pour into The New Yorker. Most are rejected. Doesn't matter how big a deal the cartoonist is, either. Roz Chast, David Sipress, Kim Warp, Sam gross, Ed Steed, Emily Flake, Navied Mahdavian, or Mary Lawton-if the work in question is too weird, too naughty, too juvenile, or too dark, it's out. Luckily for us, Matthew Diffee has been bravely sifting through the circular file to rescue the best of the worst.

 Here are 297 cartoons in a revised second edition featuring more than 50 new cartoons-even better, even worse! The cartoon set-ups may be familiar-a couple in bed, a few people stranded on a desert island, a doctor and patient in an examining room-but the joke are anything but, with twists so unexpected, you can't help but laugh out loud.



  

   A repackaging of the popular The Best of the Rejection Collection in a smaller, more compact format with 20% new material. It's the best of the worst, with 293+ of the funniest cartoons rejected by The New Yorker, including some of the magazine's most recognizable talents--like Roz Chast, Sam Gross, and David Sipress, plus some of its brightest new stars like Amy Hwang, Amy Kurzweil, Ellis Rosen, and Hallie Bateman, showing off their dark side, their naughty side, their juvenile side. It's hilarious. Matthew Diffee has been contributing cartoons to <I>The New Yorker<I> since 1999, and to date has had more than TK cartoons published in the magazine (and over TK rejected). He is the author of <I>The Rejection Collection, The Rejection Collection, Vol. 2<I>, and <I>Hand Drawn Jokes for Smart Attractive People<i> and lives in Los Angeles, California.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15279039</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C15279039</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Diffee, Matthew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/15279039981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>297 Cartoons That Were Too Dark, Too Weird, or Too Dirty for The New Yorker</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781523517787/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Zip Zap Wickety Wack]]></title><description><![CDATA["Farm animals share their sounds, but humorous drama ensues when the goat and the sheep both lay claim to "baa.""-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2416426</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2416426</guid><category><![CDATA[PICTURE_BOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Diffee, Matthew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2416426218</comments><format>PICTURE_BOOK</format><subtitle>A Story About Sharing</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780823458714/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hand Drawn Jokes for Smart Attractive People]]></title><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2120216</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2120216</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Diffee, Matthew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2015 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2120216218</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781476748740/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Best of the Rejection Collection]]></title><description><![CDATA["The best of the worst: these cartoons rejected by The New Yorker were deemed too dumb, too weird, or too naughty--but not for lack of laughs!
