You'll Be Missed, Sam
May 14, 2023
Sam Gross, who drew many cartoons for The New Yorker, passed away this month at the age of 89. I've been a The New Yorker cartoon fan for years, and often include them in the footer of our emails to clients. 

I'd not thought of the people behind those cartoons, but it's people like Sam that labor over them. 

Thanks, Sam, for making us smile.

Details: 
- Warby Parker has 200 stores in the U.S. and Canada.
- Retailers report that online advertising costs have increased 15%-20% in the last two years, making physical stores more attractive. 
- Brands report that in-store shoppers buy more per purchase.
