However, it’s not like these cartoons are Broom Hilda or Snuffy Smith. They are certainly much more cerebral. But so many people I know open their monthly issue and proceed to flip through the pages hunting for ones with cartoons on them. To their credit, some are also perusing the magazine for articles they may be interested in reading later; but many are simply content to read a dozen or so cartoons each month.

So while I was flipping through a recent copy of the New Yorker—enjoying the cartoons and wishing I had more time to read all the articles—I found this little gem which I found apropriate for those of us who maintain weblogs or journals of some sort.
