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. He has lectured widely about the art of cartooning, including at Williams College, the Yale Art Museum, and even on the Queen Mary II as the ?Cartoonist at Sea?. David's personal history essays have appeared often on newyorker.com; they range from an appreciation of the great Italian chef, Marcella Hazan, to the story of David's family's experience of the Kennedy assassination. 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.

Peter Mehlman grew up in Queens, NY and graduated from the University of Maryland. He started his career as a sportswriter for The Washington Post and worked with Howard Cosell where he produced a TV series titled, ‘SportsBeat.' His work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, GQ, Esquire, LA Times and practically every Conde Nast women's magazines. In 1989, he moved to Los Angeles, CA where he bumped into his friend, Larry David. After showing Larry David a humor piece he wrote for the New York Times Magazine, it was passed on to Jerry Seinfeld who absolutely loved it. Upon writing a script for Seinfeld's first freelance episode titled, ‘The Apartment,' Mehlman was hired as a writer and over the next 6-years worked as a writer and co-executive producer where he was associated with the show through nearly all of its 9-year run. Mehlman is best known for his ‘Yada Yada' episode (which has been included as an entry in the Oxford English Dictionary) and his classical Seinfeld-isms: ‘Spongeworthy,' ‘Double-Dipping' and ‘Shrinkage.' In 1997, he joined DreamWorks and created the TV show, ‘It's Like, You Know…,' a scathing look at life in Los Angeles. Mehlman also punched up the animated kid flick, Madagascar, where a hypochondriacal giraffe was named after him. He continues to write essays, screenplays, NPR commentaries and hosts the Webby-nominated YouTube series, 'Narrow World of Sports.' He also dabbles in stand-up comedy and doodles subconsciously under the concept of ‘Bravely Oblivious.' Mehlman has published numerous books including, ‘Mandela Was Late,' ‘It Won't Always Be This Great,' and his most recent one, ‘#MeAsWell, A Novel.' For more information, visit www.petermehlman.com
