I am particularly proud of it!
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:12 (fourteen years ago)
Mainly I guess because it feels New Yorkerish to me, i.e. privileged people fooling themselves, or overplaying their hand, about some aspect of the world
It is befuddling to me how UN-NEW-YORKERY the winning caption nearly always is
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:14 (fourteen years ago)
Possibly my favorite NYer cartoon ever was captionless. It had a guy on a desert island and a guy floating on a raft, both looking at each other, and one thought balloon they shared between them: "I'm saved!"

I know, I know... but I think that starts to pick the lock of the style a bit, i.e. "solve the puzzle" of the cartoon basically
