We also get into Michael’s cartooning influences & anxieties, the website he built to chronicle the doings of New Yorker<\/em> cartoonists<\/a>, the time Robert Gottlieb had to shield William Shawn from paparazzi outside the Algonquin Club, the recent Sam Gross gag<\/a> that made him bust a gut, the incredible apartment building he lived in in on West 11th St. (and why so many New Yorker<\/em> cartoonists wind up leaving New York). BONUS: I have a two-minute catch-up with one of my favorite cartoonists, Roger Langridge<\/a>, at last weekend’s Small Press Expo! (pictured below)<\/em>\u00a0Now go listen to the show!<\/a><\/p>\n

“It took 15 years because I’d never done it before. I think I wrote a paper in high school that was a page and a half, so I had to learn how to do all this.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
