After receiving the above rejection letter numerous times I was beside myself when I received a personal response from the editors at the New Yorker with this response:
Dear Aron Hill,
Thank you for sending us "group of 10 new cartoons". We're interested in seeing more of your work. Please email batches of cartoons in a single PDF with one cartoon per page to ____@____________ from now on.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Quickly, I drew up some new cartoons and submitted them to the editor and quickly heard back.
Dear Aron,
Thank you for getting in touch. I'm very sorry, but you received the first email in error. You should have received a follow up email shortly thereafter explaining the unfortunate mistake. Our apologies for the confusion! We will be happy to review your future submissions, but please continue to submit as you have in the past, via the Submittable portal, not via email.
xxxxx and I were able to take a look at your new cartoons, and, while we appreciated seeing them, I'm sorry to say we'll be unable to use them.
thanks so much,
xxxxxxxxx
So, these are the rejects...
