In the New Yorker...
Jeff Wrangler:
I think I am about to have trouble with my subscription. Again. >:(
I have not yet received the Feb. 13 issue, and the last issue date on my mailing label is the Feb. 6 issue. I have received nothing by either snail mail or e-mail about renewing the subscription--or whether it has automatically renewed. I usually have the next week's issue by Thursday of the preceding week.
You may recall that when I had to update my credit card information back in the fall of 2015 (because my subscription would expire in January 2016), instead of updating my information, the magazine cancelled my subscription! (Or allowed it to end. Whatever.)
I would miss the magazine, but if the same thing happens again this year, today I'm feeling just cranky enough not to want to deal with it and instead to tell The New Yorker to shove it. >:(
I would miss the magazine--not sure what I would read at lunch time--but I'm sure I'd get over it. I suppose I could go back to reading a newspaper.
Right now I'm reading TNY article about the military unit in the battle to retake Mosul from ISIS.

Just FYI, the latest issue is Feb. 13-20, a double issue. It's the one with the fizzled Statue of Liberty torch on the cover.
It's called The Anniversary Issue, though it doesn't have any version of the monocled top-hatted guy, except on the TOC page (or is it always there?).
Nobody from my list of must-read writers, but a few writers I enjoy, and the contents look decent but there's nothing that would make me tear into it immediately.
Front-Ranger:
A pleasant respite last evening. I went to a fun winetasting downtown and then when I got home, I lay in my comfortable bed, finishing up a small glass of mead, watching my kitty groom her lower abdomen and reading about Anthony Bourdain in the New Yorker. What a happy, perfect time.

Yeah, I noticed that from where you posted a picture of the cover.
Jeff Wrangler:
Hmm. Yeah, I gave up and phoned about my subscription.
The nice young woman at Conde Nast Publications told me I had been mailed a renewal notice, but I never got it. She took my renewal information, but I won't get an issue until the one that will be cover dated March 6.
