'New Yorker' Cartoons Terrifyingly Lifelike

A secret thing that happened this past week is that Cond Nast finally launched a semi-respectable New Yorker website. Looks like that 1998 purchase of Wired is bearing fruit! Just like sister site vanityfair.com, which was re-made in October, the new newyorker.com is laid out all neo-classically (important stories are bigger!) and uses the Tinsley Mortimer of Web 2.0 typefaces, Georgia. But the really earth-shattering news: for apparently the first time ever, the magazine is facing temporality! Yes, folks, New Yorker cartoons are now animated.
