About a decade ago, Will McPhail was just an ordinary zoology student. Now, he’s regularly drawing for the world-famous The New Yorker magazine. How does one make such a change in their lives? Well, McPhail admitted to “doodling lecturers” when he was supposed to be learning. And even though he did graduate, it was enough to pursue a cartoonist’s career.
So, instead of continuing to study the animal kingdom, he chose to immerse himself in the wildlife of Edinburgh’s coffee shops and libraries. There, he analyzed peoples’ social behavior, turning his findings into clever and funny comics.
McPhail is now expected to have between 8 and 10 ideas per week for The New Yorker cartoons, a popular American magazine established 94 years ago. “The best I can do is to find an area that I want to do a cartoon drawing on and accept the stage – then hope that my sense of humor moonwalks on to that stage,” the artist told the BBC.
