INTRODUCTION
BY DAVID SIPRESS
I don’t want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.
—Marilyn Monroe
Easy for her to say. But the fact is, Marilyn’s words really speak to the cartoonist in me. After all, cartooning is not a career you choose if your top priority is to make a big boatload of money—or even a little dinghyload.
I developed this attitude about money as a boy, around the time I first decided that I wanted to draw funny pictures for a living—funny pictures like the ones I saw in The New Yorker when it arrived every week at my family’s apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I was especially fascinated with the cartoons of Charles Saxon and Peter Arno, even if I didn’t always understand them. The wonderful way these artists depicted the world of wealth from the inside (see the Saxon included in this book) told me that they must be quite familiar with the one-percent lifestyle, and thus their drawings held out the possibility that, like Marilyn, a cartoonist could be wonderful and make money—even get rich.
