Harry Bliss’s “Wintry Mix”

For the cover of the January 12, 2026, issue, the cartoonist Harry Bliss used color and composition to contrast the warmth inside with the blistering cold outside. “While in art school, living off of ramen noodles, I’d peek into the windows of gorgeous old brownstones, imagining I lived there instead of in my freezing, roach-infested studio apartment,” Bliss said.
