92y:
Introducing The (Tentatively Named) 92Y Culture Diet Q&A
Drew Dernavich, cartoonist at The New Yorker and FISTICUFFS! creator, (where cartoonists battle the only way they know how—by drawing cartoons!) is the first subject of the new 92Y Culture Diet Q&A. Questions focus on discovering more about the subjects’ media and culture diet, for example, “What are your favorite television shows?” and “What magazines do you subscribe to?”
The next FISTICUFFS! happens April 27 at 92YTribeca.
Without further adieu…take it away Drew Dernavich!
Where do you go for news when you start your day?
These days Lori [my wife] gets up a little before I do, so I get my first news from her. Twitter acts as a great news aggregator, too. Other than that I have no routine for getting my news and I actually try to mix it up - Times, Post, print, online, local, national. I like fake news even better.
What are your favorite websites?
I’m using Google Image search all the time when I’m drawing looking for reference, or looking for unusual word associations. I habitually go back to the Onion, McSweeneys, Print, and Boston.com for news about my Red Sox, and because I’m a music junkie Pitchfork and Metacritic and Stereogum. There are a bunch of comics sites I like. And I’ll give a shout out to ilovecharts.com and to John Sakamoto’s “Anti-Hit List” blog for the Toronto Star as well.
