CALENDAR New Yorker cartoonist Matt Diffee will talk about his work, creativity and his newest book, Hand Drawn Jokes for Smart Attractive People on Sat- urday. As the editor of the book series The Rejection Collection: Cartoons You Never Saw, and Never Will See, in The New Yorker, Diffee probably spent extended periods of time looking only at rejected cartoons. Lucky man. He’s taken the TEDx stage and you’ve probably seen his work in the New York Times and heard him on NPR. Jim Gaffigan said, “Matt Dif- fee’s book is so funny. How annoying is that?” So whether you’ve been amused by his cartoon with Che Guevera wearing a Bart Simpson T-shirt or snickered at the drawing of two vultures looking at the Grim Reaper saying, “Love your work,” chances are Diffee’s talk may make you laugh loudly enough to embarrass the people sitting beside you.
