Cover Stories, New Yorker Mag
The New Yorker, known as a magazine for political criticism, hold as much esteem for their covers. Not many words to say but a single meticulous drawing captures the whole city's attention and calls for public’s immediate reaction.
As a subscriber for 2 years, one thing that it truly amusing about this magazine is their inclination to see the world in a most satire way.
"View of the World from 9th Avenue"
I love the narcissism portrayed in this one. ha.
They are not hesitant with condescending political messages, skewed political figure in illustrations. People get offended by some of the New Yorker covers.
"Fistbump: The Politics of Fear" in 2008 by Barry Blitt
There was a huge backlash to this cover, flooded with criticisms. Even John Steward talked about this on his show. The cartoonist Barry Blitt's response to the city wide reaction sounded very innocuous: It's just a cartoon and it makes me laugh.

"In the Shade" by Malika Favre seems very ontological ^^

저렇게 코믹하게 표지를 만들었나바요...^^*
네 2주에 한번씩 나오는데, 정치 풍자 코메디가 그림이 많습니다. 예술적인것도 있구요 -
뉴욕의 9에비뉴라..제가 가봤을까요.
그리고 맨 마지막 일러스트 다소 파격적이네요!!!
몇달 전이였지만 저도 받고 잠시 바라봤던 기억이 나요 -
표지들이 하나같이 멋스럽네요.
표지때문에 지난 몇 이슈를 못버리고 있어요 ㅠㅠ
I love the New Yorker covers too. I have them everywhere on my walls 😍
굉장히 자극적인 풍자도 있지만, 아래 쪽에서는 깊게 고민해봐야 할 메세지들이 담긴 일러스트가 많네요. 저는
"Tech Support" by R.Kikuo Johnson작품이 가장 눈에 들어왔어요. 멀지 않은 미래에 보게 될 모습이 아닌가 생각해 봅니다.tip! 0.3
