Hey, I’m Dan Misdea, a cartoonist for The New Yorker and children’s book author from New Jersey.

After graduating from Penn State with a degree in Economics, I spent several years working in finance and accounting before becoming a cartoonist in 2020.

Since then, my work has appeared in The New Yorker, Air Mail, Narrative, The Times Luxury, The Golfer’s Journal, and elsewhere. I also have a bi-weekly panel, TBD: Toons by Dan, on Comics Kingdom. In 2024, I was awarded the Silver Reuben in Gag Cartooning by the National Cartoonists Society. 

My first children’s book, The Light Inside, was nominated for an Eisner and my next book, AB@C: And Other Gramograms, with Rob Meyerson is available now.

When I’m not drawing cartoons, I might be golfing (poorly), giving tax advice to artists, or watching the Mets blow it in the 9th.
