LIFE OF REILLY. The late Donald Reilly might not have been one of the "celebrity" New Yorker cartoonists, but I'm amused by his work and impressed by what I'm learning about him. (For instance: He was a trombonist!) New Yorker-obsessed Emily at emdashes noted the death of Reilly yesterday; her post includes a link to The New Yorker's five-minute slide-show tribute, which I recommend too.
