Emily Gordon: in the iBook and there’s still Steve Martin and the cartoonists to go. I want you to know that in the interest of maximum New Yorkerness and blogger/performer ratio, I’m passing up Nancy Franklin interviewing Ricky Gervais—that’s two of the cleverest, bitingest people I know of—to see a whole host of Nyer cartoonists, including Chief Pen Cap Bob Mankoff. I write about the cartoons a lot, and I feel warmly toward the cartoonists, on the whole. I even think William Hamilton is funny more often than I used to, although his female bodies are oddly anatomical-drawing-y, almost anime in their, ah, antigravitational quality. Anyway, here’s Franklin on Gervais in the magazine as a condolence. I’m having a drink with someone later who’ll have been at that, so I’ll ask him how hilariously great it was. Although—in the Office DVD commentaries, Gervais is a little more preening than might be ideal. I guess I can’t really blame him.

I’m at 27% power now; really, that seems awfully fast.
