The cartoons in The New Yorker magazine have often featured images of Princeton students, alumni and scenes, including this stylized drawing from the cover of the March 26, 1979 issue (though here, the artist Charles Martin took considerable artistic license when arranging the architecture).  Two alumni—Whitney Darrow Jr. ’31 and Henry Martin ’48—were regular artistic contributors to the famous magazine, and so it is no surprise that Princeton was a popular theme, whether poking fun at the absurdity of Reunions and the devotion of Princeton alumni to their school or more subtly incorporating familiar elements of the Princeton experience and campus (as demonstrated here).  A number of Princeton alumni and professors have also supplied The New Yorker with written work, from John McPhee ’53 to the magazine’s current editor, David Remnick ’81.
