Cornucopia 39

Cover story

It's a wonderfully weird world

Gurbuz Dogan Eksioglu's wit and graphic sensibility won over the Big Apple when his cartoon was chosen for the cover of The New Yorker on the anniversary of 9/11. Yet he has only spent a month in their city, without time even to visit the Empire State Building. But irony is central to his life as well as his art, Andrew Finkel discovers.
