New Yorker Cartoonist Mort Gerberg Profiled by New Yorker Cartoonist Sofia Warren

 

If you have read The New Yorker any time since 1965, you have seem Mort Gerberg's cartoons. At 93, he's still producing cartoons regularly, and he was recently visited by Sofia Warren, who writes a profile of him (and draws a profile; see below) for the Magazine. 

During the 1980s. Mort taught a how-to-cartoon course for The New School. I was one of his students back then. Until now, I had not thought about it, but I have known Mort, first as a teacher and then as a colleague, for over thirty years. Mort is a master cartoonist and his 2019 retrospective at the New-York Historical Society was a fitting tribute to a fellow who has chronicled more than half a century.
