Episode 165 - Lawrence Wood

New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast

Larry Wood, the All Time New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Winner, Author and CartoonStock Caption Contest Judge, joins us to talk about the current New Yorker contests, our favorite cartoons from this week’s issue of the New Yorker and the latest CartoonStock contest.
Some great discussions on winning the contests and Paul challenges the listeners to figure out a caption he came up with for the "DJ in the boardroom" cartoon.
There's a tough cartoon to caption for the CartoonStock contest this month and we highly recommend that if you normally don't enter that one, you should enter it this month as anybody with a half way decent idea for a caption stands a good chance of being a finalist. You can enter here (there is a $5 entry fee):
