Larry Wood, the all time New Yorker cartoon caption contest winner, author and CartoonStock caption contest judge, joins us 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.
As always, we have a great discussion about the contests and we take some time to talk about if some subjects should be off limits for captions in the contests. We are also much nicer to Larry on this episode (but we'll probably make up for that the next time we have him on!)
We discuss the winning entry for Contest #944 (Quick, Sigmund, the Flit!)
Finalists for Contest #946 (Solve for Rex.)
Current Contest #948 (The ball is in your court.)
