Very engaging

I read articles on the New Yorker website and binge on the cartoons quite often. This was a delight to come across. I'm reading less and less and listening more often these days. I'm glad to find the audio extension of New Yorker. I particularly liked the stories of family of 22 children and finding the lost father. Keep them coming!
