Maggie Larson '10 has been drawing cartoons for "The New Yorker" since 2017. When we asked her to draw a cartoon for the latest issue of the Bulletin magazine, Maggie's depiction of friendship — a comically large group trying to squeeze through the “friendship poles” at Pem Arch, based on the more recent superstition that “splitting the poles” can break friendships — was just perfect.
