Watch Inside the Cartoonist’s Studio: New Yorker Cartoonist Joe Dator Online | Vimeo On Demand

Please join us for the kick-off of our new PRS series Inside the Cartoonist’s Studio, celebrating the work of comics artists, illustrators, graphic novelists & cartoonists.  We’re thrilled to have acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist Joe Dator in-person for our first event, hosted by comics artist and novelist Bob Fingerman (Minimum Wage) in the PRS Auditorium.  Dator’s brilliant, surreal panels – a bored clown being pitched ideas for balloon animals at a party; an angry deity having his name mispronounced at Starbucks; a starving man in the desert who’ll do anything for a drink of water, except endure stand-up comedy – mark him as one of the funniest and most perceptive artists in modern cartooning.  After the conversation on-stage, Joe will sign copies of his newest book, Santa Doesn’t Need Your Help, and his collection Inked - !  Joe Dator has been a cartoonist for the New Yorker since 2006 and has also contributed cartoons to MAD magazine and Esquire. He is a recipient of the National Cartoonists Society's Silver Reuben Award and has been featured on CBS's 60 Minutes. In 2021 he published a collection of his work entitled “INKED: Cartoons, Confessions, Rejected Ideas and Secret Sketches.” In addition to cartooning, he has presented humorous lectures on everything from Japanese movie monsters to fictitious comedy albums and is the co-host of the Comedy Film Funnel podcast. He lives in New York City.  Inked: Cartoons, Confessions, Rejected Ideas and Secret Sketches from the New Yorker's Joe Dator -  From inspiration to conception and all the trials in-between.  Inked is a collection of cartoons from one of the New Yorker’s most beloved cartoonists.  Filled with more than 150 of Dator’s single-panel cartoons, this lively, quick-witted book betrays a deadpan sense of humor.  But Inked is more than a book of cartoons. Dator also dives into the creative process, offering bonus commentary on how ideas have come to fruition, how one idea has led to another, and the various attempts to get an idea right. Along the way, he shows how a spark of imagination has turned into a laugh-out-loud moment with only a single image and caption, and how other attempts have found themselves on the cutting-room floor.   Santa Doesn’t Need Your Help -  When a K-pop boy band shows up to “save Christmas,” it’s the last straw.  Santa Claus may be getting older, achier, more forgetful over the years, but he is determined to prove to the world he can still do his job without anyone’s help.  “On Dasher, on Dancer, on Cupid, on Comet, I must show the world that Santa’s still got it!”  Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Maher and New Yorker cartoonist Joe Dator have given the timeless tale of saving Christmas a clever twist when Santa decides to save the day himself this year. What follows is a laugh-out-loud adventure about refusing help.  Will old Saint Nick discover the true meaning of Christmas? Or will he ruin everyone’s holiday because he’s too stubborn to admit when he’s wrong?  “07 Free Funky Clavinet (F 011)M” by Lobo Loco  is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
