Charles Barsotti is a cartoonist based in the United States. He was the cartoon editor of the The Saturday Evening Post and has been a staff cartoonist at The New Yorker since 1970. His work has also appeared in Playboy and Fast Company, among other publications. A signature artist whose rounded, elegant, sparsely detailed style evokes both the traditional world of a James Thurber and the contemporary sensibility of a Roz Chast.

With his simple repertory ... including a nameless but lovable pooch and a monarch whose kingdom consists of a guard and a telephone ... Barsotti manages to miraculously dissipate the clouds in people's minds with his unexpected humor.

His work in comic strips includes:

• C. Barsotti's People
• My kind of people
• P.J. McFey
• Sally Bananas (1969-1973)
• Funny Form (1974)
• Punchline: USA (1975)
• Broadsides (1975-1979)

He received the National Cartoonist Society Gag Cartoon Award for 1988 for his work.

Mr. Barsotti is originally from Texas and currently resides in Kansas City, MO.
