For this week’s episode, we had a last minute change in guests due to a family emergency by our scheduled guest, Sara Lautman (everything turned out fine and she’ll be joining us at the end of the month). Larry Wood graciously filled in for her (thanks, Larry!) 

We had some technical issues while recording the podcast. We lost Vin for a bit, but he was able to rejoin us by telephone, so there are some audio quality issues. We were able to clean it up so you can listen without wincing every few minutes (so, actually much better than our usual podcast!)

We start the episode with discussions of the current New Yorker contests:   

The winning caption for New Yorker contest #853 (Sharkuterie Board).   

Finalists for contest #855 (Roadhouse). 

Current New Yorker contest #857 (Flying Ant). 

We then move onto a discussion of the most recent CartoonStock contest (Trojan Pantomime Horse) and finish with our favorite cartoons from the current issue.
