Editing James Thurber (section)

===Move to New York===
In 1925, Thurber moved to [[Greenwich Village]] in New York City, obtaining a job as a reporter with the ''[[New York Post|New York Evening Post]]''. He joined the staff of ''[[The New Yorker]]'' in 1927 as an editor, with the help of [[E. B. White]], his friend and fellow ''New Yorker'' contributor. His career as a cartoonist began in 1930 after White found some of Thurber's drawings in a trash can and submitted them for publication; White inked-in some of these earlier drawings to make them reproduce better for the magazine, and years later expressed deep regret he had done such a thing. Thurber contributed both his writings and his drawings to ''The New Yorker'' until the 1950s.{{cn|date=July 2024}}
