New Yorker Rejection

10-22-15 - berther202

This is my first official rejection from The New Yorker. I submitted this cartoon way back in October of last year. So it appears their review time can take up to four months–wow!

I’ve submitted a couple others already and I’m trying to complete a batch of ten to send off at the same time. I think I’m better understanding the style and sense of humor they are looking for. We’ll see.

Anyway, this cartoon idea is a bit out of date…since we have pretty much moved into a new political season. But I still like it.

I dislike ring around the collar. Why haven’t we, as an advanced species, been able to invent technology that will prevent this clothing tragedy?

Here’s one from last March. I enjoy a good pulled pork sandwich.

I’d like to see a short reality series featuring Hillary, Bernie, The Donald and Ted, seated around a table eating messy food. (Each episode featuring a different item.) The catch is they cannot talk about politics. They have to talk about their favorite music, childhood pets, smart phones apps, etc.

1-18-16 dream dictionary - color

One of my favorite MLK quotes: “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”

By the way, I own a Dream Dictionary. It was recommended by a Spiritual Director I was seeing a few years ago. It’s very interesting–I’ve referred to it a couple of times after particularly vivid dreams.
