“I started submitting cartoons when I was in college,” Liza says, “but of course didn't sell them.” After graduation she moved to New York and started submitting cartoons on a regular basis “by going down to the offices and handing an envelope of my work to the receptionist of The New Yorker's editorial offices. This is how it was done, and I don't remember how I learned the ropes!” Two years later, the magazine finally bought one of her cartoons. She sold more cartoons over the next 2 years and eventually was able to quit her job and become a full-time freelancer. She is one of a handful of women cartoonists to work for regularly the magazine; in 2005 she wrote a history of her colleagues over the decades: Funny Ladies: The New Yorker’s Greatest Women Cartoonists and Their Cartoons.
