100 Burfords

Every week since June 2024, cartoonist Gary B. Martin has published a new Burford in the West Side Rag — New York City's beloved neighborhood newspaper covering the Upper West Side. The Burfords are salt-of-the-earth New Yorkers: ordinary people captured with affection, wit, and the kind of gentle humanity that makes you smile on the subway. This app collects all 100 strips in a single, beautiful gallery — browse the full collection as a grid, or read straight through in landscape book mode, one cartoon at a time. Each entry includes the original publication date, the reader comments from the West Side Rag website (thousands of neighbors weighing in on their fellow New Yorkers), and a direct link to add your own comment on the live article. 100 Burfords. One neighborhood. One hundred small portraits of who we all are. An unofficial fan tribute to Gary B. Martin and his remarkable body of work. All cartoons © Gary B. Martin.
