NY2: The Genesis

by Cheval Invisible and Hunter Burgan

     The New Yorker 2?! How does such a thing come about? You probably woke up this morning with a feeling like something huge was going to happen to you today. You would have been so much more correct if you had woke up feeling like something huge was going to happen to US today. Don't worry, it's a common mistake.

     Welcome.

     The New Yorker 2 has been a work in progress for many, possibly DOZENS of minutes. Several important staff meetings occurred (at a company, somewhere else) while we here at NY2 debated (via telepathy) whether we had the right, or reason, to borrow such a notorious name. I mean, The New Yorker 2??! Who do we think we are?!

     Earlier today we realized that even our best literary offerings would never see the pages of The New Yorker (now known as The New Yorker 1 or simply, NY1), so we decided to create the next best thing. We knew we wanted to follow in the same footsteps as the popular magazine you know and love, except with a higher numerical value. The decision was instantly obvious yet there was plenty debate over. Should we choose The New Yorker 2? The New Yorker Too? The New Yorker II? Or perhaps even The New Yorker Tew? (what the?!) Ultimately we feel we made the right decision. We think you will agree.

     Enjoy.
