A brand-new New Yorker blog has debuted: It’s called The Cartoon Lounge, and, further, “A guided tour inside the brains of New Yorker cartoonists.” There’s already a post from Drew Dernavich and a reply from Zach/Zachary Kanin. Drew writes:

What will we be posting here? Words, pictures, drawings, videos, interviews, and links to other Web sites. We’ll have guest cartoonists, and we’ll even have guest editors from time to time who will share their humorous ramblings, such as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

We’d also like to make this interactive, so we’ve got an e-mail address for your feedback which is absolutely free, if you can believe it. We’ll also have contests and quizzes and other ways to elicit the best of what our viewers have to offer. It should be fun. Stay tuned.

Aside from the fact that it’s high time for The New Yorker to start closing up and lowercasing “website,” I’m very excited about this virtual lounge, and am looking forward to lounging in it.
