"wait a second - new yorker cartoons don't have color!"

congratulations (n/a), Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:01 (twelve years ago) link

"Wow, our crocodile costumes are really realistic, aren't they?"

tracer it still cracks me up, so much funnier than "christ what an asshole"

max, Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:11 (twelve years ago) link

I am particularly proud of it!

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:12 (twelve years ago) link

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 (twelve years ago) link

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!"

"With these crocodile costumes, no one will know we're alligators!"

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:47 (twelve years ago) link

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

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 20 October 2011 15:54 (twelve years ago) link

"I know; I didn't expect New Yorkers to be so friendly either!"
