On part 2 of this week's episode, we interview cartoonist Rich Sparks.  Rich talks about how he broke into The New Yorker, his drawing style, gag writing and much more. 

On part 1, we discuss New Yorker Caption Contest winner for Contest #846 (Scary dog shadow), Finalists for Contest #848 (Flying couple) and the current Contest #850 (Grim Reaper playing guitar).  After that, we share our favorite cartoons from this week's issue.
