There are cartoonists, and then there are New Yorker cartoonists.
Getting a cartoon into the famous magazine is a mark of success, one Matthew Diffee has received many times over. He is also the winner of a Reuben Award, something like a cartoonist's Oscar.
Matt Diffee and his new book Hand Drawn Jokes for Smart Attractive People show up together at the Eugene Library on Saturday at 2 PM. We grab him on the phone before the event.
