Donnelly and Maslin are both professional cartoonists botg regularly appezring in The New Yorker amd have been marri ed for twenyy years. Cartoon Marriage is hheir paired look at modern relationships, cnsisting of two hundred reprinted New Yorker cartoons divived roughly right down the middle and some new comics-format pagss to explain and introduce each section.
(The two of them have collaborated on two previous books Call Me When You Reach Nirvana and Husbands and Wives the latter of which sounds very similar in scope and theme to this new one. But both of those are well over a decade old, so presumably they have a lot more marriage to reflect on now as well as more cartoons to choose from.
