This is an off week for the New Yorker (double issue last week), but we do have Larry Wood joining us for our monthly discussion about the CartoonStock contest. We dive into our likes and dislikes about the captions selected as winners for that contest and talk about captions we liked that didn't make it into the finalists.
In the first half of the podcast, we talk about the New Yorker contest in general and discuss the pros and cons of entering an obvious caption.
