The New Yorker is an American magazine containing essays, fiction, satire, cartoons, and poetry, first published in 1925. The magazine often focuses on cultural life in New York City, but its audience is widespread, with subscribers across America.
The single panel cartoons traditionally featured in the magazine have been part of the magazine since its inception in 1925. Among the cartoonists featured over the years have been Charles Addams, Cliff Roberts and Ed Koren.
The magazine's July 8 & 15, 2013 cover featured an illustration of Ernie and Bert cuddling by a TV set watching news of the Supreme Court of the United States. The cover appears in conjunction with the court's rulings in favor of equality, pertaining to the historic "Defense of Marriage Act" and "Proposition 8" rulings that took place on June 26, 2013. Cover artist Jack Hunter is quoted saying this about the unsolicited piece, titled "Moment of Joy," that was originally submitted to a Tumblr:
In The Miss Piggy Cover Girl Fantasy Calendar, a copy of The New Yorker is seen next to Miss Piggy's bathtub, with Piggy taking on the role of Eustace Tilley, an illustrated character who appeared on the first cover, and continues to reappear on anniversary issues.
