The view downtown from the Metro-North Harlem-125th Street platform.

I’ve always loved outdoor train platforms. Here’s my new favorite one. Views of the Hudson from the train next time.

And I’ve been dying to point to my latest cartoon in The New Yorker, but the Cartoonbank hasn’t received its magazine yet (it got lost in the mail), so it hasn’t been able to scan this week’s cartoons into their database yet! That may make anyone out there who’s still waiting for their magazine to arrive in the mail think “ha ha!” I’ll put it up as soon as they do! Or maybe scan it myself after work.

PS - ATTENTION ALL NEW YORKERS! If you still have your Christmas tree, this is the weekend to bring it to one of the Parks Department’s mulching centers! For all you RSS-ers, just click on the “Mulchfest” link on the upper right of newyorkette’s main page for more info. (To reach the main page, click on the newyorkette heart above).

UPDATE:
here it is! Here it is, finally!

The inspiration was the movie, In the Heat of the Night, the scene where Rod Steiger says to Sidney Poitier, “Boy, it would give me great pleasure to horsewhip you, Virgil!” It just sounded funny. And the next time I got mad at a friend of mine, I thought of those words, and then the second clause (“but it’s not sexual” came to me).
