Robert Mankoff sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker in 1977, later becoming the Cartoon Editor between 1997–2017. In this brilliant illustrated talk from Jewish Book Week 2015, he demonstrates what makes this genre an incomparable and unique art form, drawing from his memoir, How About Never – Is Never Good for You? My Life in Cartoons.

Watch this excerpt in which he draws parallels between his graduate adventures involving lab mice and his first years job-hunting.

Bob Mankoff: Is Never Good for You? My Life in Cartoons will be available on KPlayer from Wednesday 10th June at 7pm for a limited time only.
