MEDIA • The New Yorker thinks men are funnier than woman — running more than eight times as many men as women authors in Shouts and Murmurs. But what about cartoonists?

Hey, Doree- your contributions are one of many reasons this is the best Gawker lineup ever . Hope you haven't forfeited your claim to a fifth of that quarterly traffic bonus Denton supposedly dangles before you! 'Cause the imagined spoils of the Foxy thread would somehow seem less sweet.

Dear Doree, thanks for being nice to me in college and thanks for inviting me to that KY jelly dinner during which it somehow maybe hit you that I was really really really broke and needed employment bad. I will miss you terribly on the IM-s but ever since we bonded over how we wished we could be interns at The Face I knew you were destined for greatness.

@emily: Horoscopes can be scarily accurate when they delve into specifics.

For instance, mine says "This will finally be the week your alcoholic uncle gets off your couch and moves back home, followed by a surprise call from that cute redhead from 3rd grade who you used to have a crush on but who wouldn't give you the time of day. Also, you know that surfboard you keep in the garage? The blue one? Yeah, the one you claim you're going to learn how to use one day as more than a macho conversation piece? Well, this'll be the week you finally put your half-assed resolve to the test. Furthermore, you're actually gay."

Kushner seems to do a good job surrounding himself with women who are better-known, more talented, and better-looking than he is. Best of luck to you, Doree. And make sure somebody takes over your Hills commentary and does it as well as you do. I don't have time to watch that tripe, but like the highlights and feeling in the know.

Doree was the one:
- That got my first pitch for Past, Over and knew I could do better.
- That I met for the first time with five or six scotches in me.
- That has corrected a bajillion typos, mis-spellings, and grammatical errors.
- That received way too many "OMG, I'll get it done by lunch, I promise" e-mails from me.
- That encouraged and guided me so well.

Thank you, lovely, and best.
