George Price (June 9, 1901 – January 12, 1995[1]) was an American
cartoonist who was born in
Fort Lee, New Jersey. After doing
advertising artwork in his youth, Price started doing cartoons for The New Yorker magazine in 1929. He continued contributing to the New Yorker well into his eighties, displaying a talent for both graphic innovation (many of his cartoons consisted of a single, unending line) and for a wit that somehow combined the small issues of domestic life with a topical sensibility.
