The caption contest fallen
We honor the fallen today. David Fischer, who faithfully catalogued all the New Yorker caption contests in his Blog About Town, left us early. He was a good guy, and in the habit of offering extra tickets to plays now and then by mass email to his friends, which is the kind of thing a cartoonist on a budget really appreciates. Bob Mankoff, revered cartoon editor of The New Yorker, had a few words about David, which can be found on Emdashes, here. Or just click on the cartoon below, which is an example of one of David’s own caption contest submissions, and which I think is a winner!
I’m sure right about now David is discovering whether or not God really does have a long, white beard, and a golf bag full of lightening bolts.
