Synopsis:
The millions of New Yorker cartoon fans will exult in this finest-ever collection of puzzles and games that feature the magazine's cartoons as clues. Designed to offer a challenge to puzzlers of all levels, this collection of 100 crosswords, acrostics, caption scrambles (and more..) is absolutely unique - it is the first-ever puzzle collection to feature "New Yorker" cartoons. Puzzability was founded in 1966 by Robert Leighton (a "New Yorker" cartoonist), Mike Shenk and Amy Goldstein, who are responsible for the cartoon puzzles in the annual cartoon issue of "New Yorker" magazine.
