Profiled: Dondi cartoonist Irwin Hasen, age 93
Skip to comments
Interesting story out of the New York Times about Irwin Hasen, who used to draw the syndicated comic strip Dondi. He’s still “working” at age 93.
Now, fresh Dondi cartoons are published only on the walls of the Nectar Cafe at Madison Avenue and 79th Street, where nearly every morning for the past 30 years Mr. Hasen has arrived at 8:30 on the dot to sit at the same stool at the counter.
“I call it Caf’e Hasen – I’m the staff artist,” said Mr. Hasen, who lives a block away. He has a corresponding evening constitutional: his 5:30 jaunt to the bar at Bistro Le Steak, on Third Avenue and 75th Street, for a martini.
