Olivia Noble joins us on the podcast this week. Olivia Started submitting her cartoons to the New Yorker through Submittable in 2024 and had her first Cartoon published in the magazine in September, 2025. She has had a second cartoon published since than and has had a cartoon appear in a recent caption contest.
We talk with Olivia about her journey to becoming a New Yorker cartoonist, her process, cartoons and the never ending thrills of copy editing.
She hopes to have a webpage or at least an instagram presence very soon so that people can find her cartoons!
On Part 1 of the episode, we discuss the current contests:
Winning captions for New Yorker contest #997 (Up, up and a subway!)
Finalists for contest #999 (Send the pachyderm packing.)
Current New Yorker contest #1001 (He who snailt it, dealt it.)
