For the cover of the August 12, 2024, issue, the cartoonist Roz Chast—who has delighted readers since 1978 with her opinionated and peculiar takes on life’s indignities—gives ice-cream makers some suggestions for new flavors. “There are a lot of things I like about ice-cream stores aside from the ice cream itself,” Chast said. “I like looking at the different colors and patterns of all the bins. I like comparing cones: wafer flat-bottom or pointy classic? And the names of the flavors: the more preposterous and baroque, the better.”
