Getting your cartoon published in The New Yorker during your current incarnation

From what I gather, it's difficult to get a cartoon published in The New Yorker.
The process might take some time and you might need to repeatedly submit cartoons for a long time before one is accepted. Year is the base unit to measure this waiting time.Hopefully with some perseverance and an auspicious alignment of stars, it's not beyond the realms of possibility that your cartoon gets published in The New Yorker during your current incarnation.
