''The New Yorker'' has featured cartoons (usually [[gag cartoon]]s) since it began publication in 1925. The cartoon editor of ''The New Yorker'' for years was [[Lee Lorenz]], who first began cartooning in 1956 and became a ''New Yorker'' contract contributor in 1958.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/lee-lorenz|title=Lee Lorenz|work=The New Yorker|accessdate=July 31, 2015}}</ref> After serving as the magazine's art editor from 1973 to 1993 (when he was replaced by [[Françoise Mouly]]), he continued in the position of cartoon editor until 1998. His book ''The Art of the New Yorker: 1925–1995'' (Knopf, 1995) was the first comprehensive survey of all aspects of the magazine's graphics. In 1998, [[Robert Mankoff]] took over as cartoon editor and edited at least 14 collections of ''New Yorker'' cartoons. In addition, Mankoff usually contributed a short article to each book, describing some aspect of the cartooning process or the methods used to select cartoons for the magazine. Mankoff left the magazine in 2017.<ref>Cavna, Michael.
