Episode 166 - Drew Dernavich

New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast

New Yorker cartoonist, Drew Dernavich, joins us on the podcast this week. It's been over a year since Drew has joined the podcast. His last appearance was the ill-fated 100th Anniversary episode that is unlistenable due to technical problems (the problem being that none of us knew how to properly use a professional podcast studio). Drew talks about what he's been up to this last year and joins us in the discussion of the New Yorker contests, our favorite cartoons from the current issue and the frequent portion of the podcast that we're calling "Vin Doesn't Get It".
Drew also invites everyone to come see him and other cartoonists at the annual New Yorker Festival at the end of October for a live cartoon improv session. We'll post more information on that as it becomes available.
We also talk a bit about the letterpress prints he has collaborated on with Paul and his wife, Christy. The newest print "All Caps" will be available soon. You can still order the two previous prints here:

We discuss the winning entry for Contest #904 (Can You Lasso a Goat, Ted?).
Finalists for Contest #906 (The Olympic "Go Fish" Finals).
Current Contest #908 (I Don't See How This Is Remotely Funny).
