I don’t get too excited about holidays, with one major exception. I’ve always had a warm spot in my heart for Christmas. The New Yorker has run many Christmas covers over the years, some of which, such as those by the late George Booth, are quite memorable.

| Anita Kunz "Silent Night" |

| Anita Kunz "Eustace Tilley at One Hundred" (One of several covers for The New Yorker's 100th anniversary) |
The New Yorker has repeatedly rebuked or ridiculed Donald Trump on its covers since at least 2015. Several artists have contributed to the effort, with Barry Blitt seemingly serving as the most frequent go-to guy when the times call for yet another cutting reference.

| Anita Kunz "The Face of Justice" |
The first American case of COVID-19 was reported in January 2020. We all know what happened after that. Infections spiked. The death toll rose. Debates raged over lockdowns and vaccines. In the U.S., more than 103.4 million people have been diagnosed with the disease and more than 1.2 million have died.

| Anita Kunz "Class of 2020" |
Eustace Tilley (above), a cover illustration by Rea Irvin, has long been the mascot of The New Yorker. Eustace graced the first issue of the magazine when it appeared on February 21, 1925, and he has appeared on many covers since then, usually in February. In recent years, he has been depicted or commemorated in many different ways.

| Anita Kunz "9 for 90" (1 of 9 covers for The New Yorker's 90th anniversary) |
Over the years, there have been many magazines whose covers have featured the work of highly talented artists and illustrators. But probably no magazine has had more varied and memorable covers, over a longer period of time, than The New Yorker, which was founded in 1925.

 |
| Anita Kunz "Fill Er Up" |
 |
| Anita Kunz "Like Mother Like Daughter" |
The New Yorker has sporadically featured Mother’s Day covers since at least 1935, only some of which could be described as sentimental. The modern version of the holiday has been around since the early 20th century. In the United States, it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

Some of the politicians who have appeared on older covers of The New Yorker are cartoonish fabrications making campaign swings or holding news conferences. In recent years, though, real-life candidates and officeholders have made the cover, often in an unflattering light.
