The cover of the New Yorker for 4/4/16:

Getting ball park franks on board the plane. Cover by Jaime Hernandez, with the title (groan) “Bun Voyage” (bun – bon).

From “Cover Story: Jaime Hernandez’s “Bun Voyage”” by Françoise Mouly and Mina Kaneko:

“I put both mustard and ketchup on my hot dogs,” Jaime Hernandez says of his image for the cover of this week’s Food and Travel issue, thus settling a debate that has raged around the office ever since his piece came in. “But the truth is I haven’t had a hot dog since I gave up meat a good fifteen years ago,” he continues. “I found that vegan and vegetarian dogs can be hard to digest.”
