On part 2 of this week's episode, we talk with the great New Yorker cartoonist, William (Bill) Haefeli. Bill talks about how he got into cartooning, his process and his focus on social relationships in his cartoons. Bill explains his unique drawing style and its evolution. A great episode!
Bill is featured in the recent book about New Yorker cartoonists, "At Wits End", by Alen Macweeney and Michael Maslin.
