This cartoon with the congressman first was rejected by the NYer, then bought by Business Law Today in 2002.

The cartoon with the dogs was rejected by The NYer then bought by Barron's  in 2005.

    Are you connected with this comment? Actually, I understand through the grapevine that all the drawings in the book were drawn by a New Yorker cartoonist drawn in a different style so as not give up his identity. I can say that he now draws with a broken popsicle stick.
