New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast
Episode 227 - Lawrence Wood
Larry Wood, the all time New Yorker cartoon caption contest winner, author and CartoonStock caption contest judge, joins us again to talk about the current New Yorker contests, our favorite cartoons from this week’s issue of the New Yorker and the latest CartoonStock contest.
A great discussion of the contests this week. Our thoughts on the captions for the New Yorker contest that did not use crowdsource voting (Vin found something nice to say about one of the captions!) We also discuss the CartoonStock contest and have a discussion about the subject of the current one open for captions.
Larry mentions a Pat Byrnes cartoon, but couldn't quite remember the caption. The caption is: "We will now observe a moment of silencing critics of gun violence."
We discuss the winning entry for Contest #965 (Television Dead Air.)
Finalists for Contest #967 (Raters of the Lost Ark.)
Current Contest #969 (Feeling a bit Hornie.)
