New Yorker Cartoon No. 2 ニューヨーカーカートゥーン第二

19 Oct

Here’s the second one! The original idea for this came from an actual situation I was in a couple weeks ago. I told Laura about it, and she had another idea for a caption that I thought would be funny, too. I’ve put them both below the cartoon. Please leave a comment to let me know which I should send to the New Yorker!

“Excuse me sir, but could you be so kind as to tell me the way to the nearest public toilet?

Or:

“Excuse me sir, but could you be so kind as to tell me the way to the Ritz-Carlton?”

New Yorker Cartoon No. 1 ニューヨーカーカートゥーン第一

8 Oct

Sometimes, inspiration and time-saving strategies collide in delightful ways. I’ve had a number of good ideas for cartoons recently, but since I’ve been busy working, commuting, and drinking real ales, I don’t have time for the elaborate, colorful illustrations I usually try to do. Then I realized that the gags I’d thought up would be perfect for the New Yorker, and that a simple, black-and-white visual style would be a perfect way to draw them! Behold: my first entry in what will be a series of submissions to the New Yorker*.

* Apparently, the New Yorker no longer accepts unsolicited submissions for cartoons. Well I say, hard cheese; I’m sending it to them anyway via a different department. They should be so lucky.
