Illustration: Bender, burritos, cats and coffee in Wendy MacNaughton’s witty work

We’ve only just stumbled across the witty, wonderful work of Wendy MacNaughton, which seems really crazy because she’s illustrated for a handful of incredible publications and her work has been featured almost everywhere, from The New York Times to Juxtapoz to Jezebel. The graphic journalist from San Francisco has even created her own game for McSweeney’s called Pen & Ink, which we seriously need to get hold of, because if these illustrations are anything to go by, we imagine it’s really extraordinary.

As it’s quite rare to find an illustrator who depicts almost all of your favourite things, from Sontag and Plath, to Bender and burritos, to cats and coffee mugs, we thought we’d definitely share a selection of Wendy’s work with you. And if it’s true what Sontag says, that “intelligence is really a kind of taste: taste in ideas,” then Wendy’s drawings are some of the most intelligent that we know of.
