New Yorker Cartoons - the DIVERSITY gets bigger, the laughs get smaller

I can imagine the scene at The New Yorker. Editors talking:

"We're embracing DIVERSITY with the cartoons. We're telling everyone to shade at least ONE character DARK."

"Just make sure the DARK character isn't the butt of the joke!"

"Of course. But what do you mean, JOKE? Are you saying our cartoons are supposed to be FUNNY?"

"I've got another idea we MUST try. Make the WHITE character the stupid and unsuccessful one!"

"Will it make the cartoon funnier?"

"Funnier...funnier...past tense of funny? Our cartoons were funny in the past..."

See what they did? Crotchety uncool old white guy, and shabbily dressed white guy next to the successful man OF COLOR? The new NEW YORKER. Subscribe today! PS, the white pages would be NOTHING without the black ink.
