The most frequent question I am asked is, “Do you draw for the New Yorker?” to which I reply, “Yes. In fact I’ve drawn three covers for them … although they’ve never had the good sense to buy any of my work.”
Two of the covers I drew appeared on their web site, but it really wasn’t a big deal. I entered them in the 2011 & 2012 Eustace Tilley Book-Bag Contest and anyone who bothered to upload an image had something appear on their web site.
The first New Yorker cover I drew in 1984 just for fun. It, like my other covers, hangs in my bathroom.
I even uploaded something to the 2011 Eustace Tilley Book-Bag Contest that my nephew, Alex Charles Herlofsen, drew when he was five . It's titled, "Wulture by Alex, Butterfly by Crazy Eccentric Aunty T-." I'm hoping he'll take over my cartooning business someday and now he can honestly say he had something in the New Yorker ... or at any rate, something on their web site.

The New Yorker, of course ... although they've yet to have the good sense to buy any of my work. Hundreds of others have, from the Saturday Evening Post to The Oregonian to large publishing houses to small trade journals. Let me draw a few cartoons for you. No matter what, I hope you get a few laughs as you go through my site.
Events can't be called true events unless they have official T-shirts, and t-shirts with personalized cartoons on them are the T-shirts preferred by 9 out of 10 people stranded on a desert island.
Personalized Cartoons: An illustration of anyone can be Photoshopped into any cartoon on the mchumor.com web site. This is a great CHEAP gift.
The perfect "gift from the gang" at retirement or going away parties is an original cartoon of the guest of honor.

Got comments and/or suggestions about this web page design? Contact me. I, a techno moron, first designed it on an ancient, but much-loved circa 1997 Macintosh.
Many assume images found on the web can be used for free and are in the public domain. Many are not. I've spent years drawing these cartoons and I support my family selling them online so please contact me before using any. THANKS! Theresa (T-) McCracken, Humble & Financially Strapped Cartoonist
