On part 2 of this week's episode, Michael Maslin joins us to talk about the New Yorker 100th Anniversary and his recent book that he collaborated on with photographer, Alen MacWeeney, titled "At Wit's End: Cartoonists of The New Yorker". 
Michael also maintains a database of the New Yorker cartoonists on his website, "The Ink Spill" and posts a daily New Yorker cartoon related article there as well (he also posts it as a Substack).

Michael also mentions the New Yorker cartoon and cover art exhibition, hosted by the Society of Illustrators, "Drawn From The New Yorker: A Centennial Celebration". 
You can find more information about the exhibition here:

The cartoons that people don't get that Michael mentions can be found in the Nov. 2, 2009 edition of the New Yorker (it's that year's cartoon issue). It's titled, "I Don't Get It". If you have a subscription, you can find it in the archives.

On Part 1 of the episode, we discuss the current contests:
Winning captions for New Yorker contest #931 (When you whisk upon a yarr).
Finalists for contest #933 (You've been sitting here all day. I'm going to have you pigeon towed). 
Current New Yorker contest #935 (I think it's a trap). 

We also discuss our favorite cartoons from the current issue of the New Yorker (The painting depicted in the Jason Adam Katzenstein cartoon is "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat. We really should have known that).
