The first cartoon may have appeared in Punch, but it was The New Yorker that perfected the single panel, one line caption gag cartoon, and subsequently the desert island cartoon. This iconic subject can encompass almost any topic—isolation, relationships, priorities, time, survival, business as usual, death, even self-referential humor—and cartoonists Jon Adams and Ellis Rosen have dug up some 150 examples of pure buried treasure, from the likes of Roz Chast, S. Gross, Bob Mankoff, and Matthew Inman. Here too are bonus items like "True Stories of Real-Life Castaways," an "Escape from the Desert Island" board game, a castaway paper doll, and other sandy activities.
