His first drawing for The New Yorker, a sketch of a window washer, ran February 6, 1932, and his cartoons ran regularly in the magazine from 1937, when he drew the first in the series that came to be called The Addams Family, until his death.

 BERENSTAIN, STANLEY & JANICE, It's Still in the Family
BERENSTAIN, STANLEY & JANICE
It's Still in the Family
New York, NY: Dell, 1963. 1st Paperback Edition; 1st Printing. Paperback. Mass Market PB. Illustrated by Stanley & Janice Berenstain. B&W Illustrations; This is a mass market paperback book. The book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book covers have some light, generalized toning. The spine ends and corners of the book covers have some light bumping and rubbing. The text pages are generally clean and bright, but there is generalized toning. "The Berenstains were successful cartoonists with several adult humor books and magazine credits to their names before their first Berenstain Bears book. They produced together the magazine cartoon feature It's All in the Family from 1956 to 1989 in McCall's and Good Housekeeping. It's All in the Family (unrelated to the similarly named TV series) depicted the antics of a suburban family with mother, father, eldest and youngest sons, and middle daughter. It's All in the Family was not a conventional comic strip in the sense of a sequential progression of panels. Each issue featured a single situation, often seasonally appropriate, such as the daughter preparing, cooking, and serving a family meal for the first time or the costume preparations, rehearsal, and performance of the youngest child's Christmas pageant. Within a given issue, each It's All in the Family drawing was a stand-alone panel with a caption gag, rather than one panel of a sequential strip, but individual panels in order depicted the complete arc (preparation, completion, aftermath) of that issue's family experience.
