"New Yorker" cover, by Bruce McCall

This very funny, enjoyable cover of The New Yorker--the November 22, 2021 issue--is by the artist and humorist Bruce McCall, and is titled "Season’s Special.” 

(Please click on the image, to enlarge it.  Still, some of the signs, in the illustration, might not be entirely legible, because of the reduced size of the image.  One reads, "Xtra-Stale Popcorn."  Another is "Bagel Bits."  A third reads: "Crumbs," followed by "Yum!")

Here, too, is a link to a brief conversation between Mr. McCall and Françoise Mouly, the art editor of The New Yorker, posted on the magazine's website on November 15th.
