Has anyone here ever entered (and/or won) their weekly caption contest?
It's one of my goals.
Also, there's a fabulous documentary about the New Yorker's cartoon department -- its editor, the artists, and the selection process for cartoonists -- called "Very Semi-serious." Trailer at link.

Years ago I received the giant coffee table book of New Yorker cartoons( a CD of all their published cartoons was included) This thread has prompted me to go through it again. Thanks, OP.

The New Yorker put a couple of books out of their rejected cartoons, one is called Cream of the Crap. I bought them for my father one Christmas and it was the best present I ever got him.

One of my favorites is the frog in a little wheeled box pawing(flippering?) its way out of a restaurant kitchen. The sign on the wall says "Try Our Frog Legs."

I think the “pi-what” wordplay in R30 WAS intentional, it’s simply another level of complexity that takes a dig at the math-challenged, a red herring to distract the philistines. Bravo to Miss Mensa who got the joke!

I think the New Yorker has fabulous articles, but the cartoons seemed to be aimed at people on the spectrum who vaguely smell like hotdog water.

There are jokes that are funny, and there are jokes that you snigger at because you understand them and you know that most people don't.
The New Yorker is guilty of publishing some of the latter.

I think the math teacher must have thought that pirates say “R!!!” not “arrrrgh,” but I’m more confused as to why he’s not at all concerned that there’s an elderly man in a pirate costume ogling at the young students. In a high school geometry class! They must have very lax security.
by Anonymous | reply 54 | September 5, 2020 1:22 AM |
It's a geometry/pirate joke. The answer is 'r'. And what do pirates say?
by Anonymous | reply 55 | September 5, 2020 7:04 AM |
r42 the class is learning how to calculate the area of a circle (πr squared). So the joke is π "Aargh" squared. So not even very funny.

And it's not even correct. Pi r NOT square. Pi are round. Cornbread are square.

I’m more amused by the people congratulating themselves for knowing high school geometry AND “getting” the most common pirate joke punchline in the world than the cartoon itself. Maybe the humor is supposed to be meta like that?
