Charles Barsotti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles Barsotti Formerly the cartoon editor of the The Saturday Evening Post, he has been a staff cartoonist at The New Yorker since 1970. His work has also appeared in Playboy and Fast Company, among other publications. A signature artist whose rounded, elegant, sparsely detailed style evokes both the traditional world of a James Thurber and the contemporary sensibility of a Roz Chast.

With his simple repertory — including a nameless but lovable pooch and a monarch whose kingdom consists of a guard and a telephone — Barsotti manages to miraculously dissipate the clouds in people's minds with his unexpected humor.

His work in comic strips includes:

  • C. Barsotti's People
  • My kind of people
  • P.J. McFey
  • Sally Bananas (1969-1973)
  • Funny Form (1974)
  • Punchline: USA (1975)
  • Broadsides (1975-1979)

He received the National Cartoonist Society Gag Cartoon Award for 1988 for his work.

Mr. Barsotti is originally from Texas and currently resides in Kansas City, MO.
