This is the one I thought had slipped by the gate keepers and maybe had a chance at publication with The New Yorker. Turns out I just missed the “decline” email in my inbox. Oh well, I’m still really happy with the idea and the drawing here.
And a scantron.
I think this one was also submitted in June. Not the best. But you just get an idea, draw it out and see what happens. Rinse and repeat. I haven’t submitted new cartoons in several weeks…need to get on that.
Squeezing in some reading
Well…most of the time?
Here’s another one a certain magazine relegated to coach.
Catching up…
Here’s one that was submitted to The New Yorker in June–they appear to be catching up with my output. Perhaps I have annoyed them enough to get on their radar. Curiously, they have skipped over a cartoon I submitted back in April that I thought was especially strong. Hmmm.
This particular one is amusing to me, pondering what might be in store for Mr. Jenkins from his obviously annoyed, costumed employee.
The power of ice cream
A newer declined New Yorker cartoon. The next few you’ll see I am still learning how to use the Monoprice Drawing Tablet–as evidenced by the pixilation.
I read the phrase “positive emotional momentum” somewhere and this is the result. I like that she’s trying to explain her double scoop cone to a pigeon.
Another one
This is the final New Yorker return-to-sender from the group I submitted in February. They seemed to have quickened the pace of evaluations some, as I’ve received a few more emails telling me that my cartoons are not needed. I’ll keep posting them here so that they can break through the clouds and see the light of day.
Low blow
This one was probably too crude for The New Yorker, but I read the phrase “subduction zone” somewhere and couldn’t help myself. 😉
Bitmoji
Getting to the last of the rejected batch of February New Yorker submissions. But I received an email a few days ago about a couple more that didn’t make the cut, so…
Refuse explorer
New Yorker reject #??? Of the ten I submitted back in February I thought this was one of the strongest. A few more to go…
The living room
Here’s another New Yorker leftover. Throw enough mud at the wall and perhaps something will eventually stick. 🙂
