2-16-16 grammys

I did not watch the Grammys last night, just listened a bit as the wife and daughter did. It’s a yearly reminder of how little interest I have in popular music today. Awards shows bring out the worst in me, anyway…

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Anyway, this cartoon idea is a bit out of date…since we have pretty much moved into a new political season.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

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.

I was thinking yesterday about Alan Rickman’s death, trying to come up with a cartoon that would have Snape battling John McClane from Die Hard. That was too much work. I did this instead.

Based on Silento’s transcendent bit of musical mastery, “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)”.  (Confession: I had never actually heard the song–just little people quoting bits of the lyrics. To research this cartoon I listened to it in its entirety. I can never get those 3 minutes and 23 seconds back again.)

More wordplay. I really enjoy simply sitting back and letting my mind drift over words…breaking them down into parts or sounds to see what they might reveal. Thanksgiving stuff starting tomorrow–or later today.
