Design

The magazine was a canvas for many artists and illustrators like Abner Dean, Santiago Martinez Delgado, George Petty, TY Mahon and John Groth among others. Abner Dean (1910-1982 born Abner Epstein, was an American Cartoonist who was the nephew of Sculptor Jacob Epstein. Santiago Martínez Delgado (1906 - 1954 was a Colombian painter sculptor Art historian and writer George Brown Petty IV ( 27 April 1894 &ndash 21 July 1975) was an American Pin-up artist Art directors have included Jean-Paul Goude, Paul Rand, Roger Black and Samuel Antupit; also during the 1960's using the techniques of print advertising, legendary adman George Lois, the youngest inductee into the Art Directors Hall of Fame, designed clever, eye-catching Esquire covers, such as Sonny Liston as Santa Claus and Andy Warhol drowning in a can of soup to illustrate an article on the death of the avant-garde. Jean-Paul Goude (born 1940 is a French graphic designer, Illustrator, Photographer and advertising Film director.

For many years, Esquire has published its annual Dubious Achievement Awards, lampooning events of the preceding year. As a running gag, the annual article almost always displayed an old photo of Richard Nixon laughing, with the caption, "Why is this man laughing?" However, the February 2006 "Dubious Achievement Awards" used the caption under a photo of W. Mark Felt, the former FBI official revealed in 2005 to be the "Deep Throat" Watergate source for Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. The running gag is an often amusing Joke or reference that appears repeatedly throughout a work or series of works William Mark Felt Sr (born August 17, 1913) is a former agent of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, who retired in 1973 Deep Throat is the Pseudonym given to the secret source who provided information to the Washington Post about the involvement of U The Watergate scandals were a series of Political scandals during the presidency of Richard Nixon that resulted in the Indictment of several of Nixon's Robert "Bob" Upshur Woodward (born March 26, 1943) is an assistant managing editor of The Washington Post.

Bush had surpassed Nixon as the "worst president ever". George Walker Bush ( born July 6 1946 is the forty-third and current President of the United States. Another running gag has been headlining one especially egregious achievement, "And then they went to Elaine's. " (Elaine's is a popular restaurant in New York City. The City of New York )

Esquire did not publish "Dubious Achievement Awards" for 2001 or 2002, but resumed them with the 2003 awards, published in the February 2004 issue.
