    David Sipress graduated from Williams College and went on to a master’s program in Russian History at Harvard before leaving to pursue a career as a cartoonist. His first cartoon appeared in The New Yorker in 1998. Since then, he has published over seven hundred cartoons in the magazine. During the presidential election in 2012, he became the first Daily Cartoonist on the New Yorker website, and his topical cartoons have continued to appear on newyorker.com ever since. His cartoons have been published in the Boston Phoenix, Time, Parade, Playboy, Funny Times, the Washington Post, Harper’s, and numerous other publications. He has published eight collections of his cartoons. He was the 2016 winner of the National Cartoonists Society’s Reuben Award for Gag Cartooning.

David has been widely interviewed about his cartoons and his writing, including on ‘Sixty Minutes’ and ‘Fresh Air with Terry Gross.’ His memoir, WHAT’S SO FUNNY?, was published in 2022. The New York Times called it, “An endearingly vulnerable tale of being molded by one’s family of origin, then crawling out from under its suffocating weight.” A lifetime New Yorker, David lives in Brooklyn with his wife Ginny Shubert, an attorney and activist who works on issues of housing and health.
