Bob Mankoff - Have I Got a Cartoon for You!: The Moment Magazine Book of Jewish Cartoons
Sunday, October 6, 2019 - 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Mankoff, cartoon and humor editor for Esquire, former New Yorker cartoon editor, and author of the memoir How About Never—Is Never Good For You?, introduces this collection of his favorite Jewish cartoons by quipping that the People of the Book are also "the People of the Joke." Exploring how Jewish humorists have drawn on traditions such us Talmudic disputation for material, Mankoff surveys the long tradition of Jewish humor and the cartoon's place in it and reflects on how his own Jewish heritage—which included early experiences of Borscht Belt comedians like Jerry Lewis and Buddy Hackett—shaped his career as a cartoonist.
