Koren began his cartooning career at Columbia while drawing for the college’s humor magazine. After college, he went on to teach art at Brown University.
His first love was cartooning.
Well known for his very hairy, very lovable characters, he got his artistic break in May 1962 when The New Yorker accepted one of his cartoons. lieutenant featured a sloppy-looking writer, cigarette dangling from his lips, sitting before a typewriter.
Printed on his sweatshirt is one word: ‘’Shakespeare.’’ That cartoon launched a lifetime freelance relationship between Koren and The New Yorker. The magazine has published thousands of his cartoons and illustrations, including dozens of full-color drawings published on the magazine"s cover.
After several years of continued publishing, he quit his teaching job at Brown University and devoted himself full-time to cartooning.

He has collaborated with numerous contemporary humorists and authors, notably George Plimpton and Delia Ephron. Koren"s cartoons, drawings and prints have been widely exhibited in shows across the United States as well as in France, England and Czechoslovakia.
Koren also contributed a Pond Village Pesto recipe for Mission Piggy"s 1996 cookbook, In the Kitchen with Mission Piggy.
Columbia University"s Wallach Gallery exhibited a retrospective of his work, "The Capricious Lincolnshire" in 2010. Luise Ross Gallery (New York, New York) exhibited his work concurrently in the exhibition "Parallel Play – Drawings 1979 – 2010".
