Mitra Farmand in The New Yorker

Great news from alum Mitra Farmand, she had a comic in the June 22, 2015 issue of The New Yorker! You can find Mitra’s comic on page 63.

Publishing a comic in The New Yorker was a dream of hers since before she started at The Center for Cartoon Studies. Her advice for future cartoonists looking to get published in The New Yorker is dedication. She told James Sturm that she submitted 220 cartoons over 2 years. Getting this comic published gives her a success rate of 0.5%. But it is success never the less!

Mitra graduated in 2013, the same year as beloved instructor and creator of Trevor, Luke Howard; creator of The Oven, Sophie Goldstein; and creator of Little Tommy Lost, Cole Closser. That class is becoming quite an act to follow!
