Not to sound pushy, or anything, but I INSIST that you resubmit the first one (the office setting one), each and every time that you submit other works to the magazine. Seriously, I will not rest until I see that illustration on a page of the New Yorker. If Emma’s issue is with the caption (and its implications), then, so be it – I can respect that; but there are GAZILLIONS of other captions (and implications) that would make that breathtakingly precious masterpiece print-worthy.
Observe…
“I’m afraid we’re not hiring anyone more qualified than me, right now.”
“It’s come to my attention that your desk is three quarters of an inch larger than mine.”
“Where do you see my hairline in five years?”
And the list goes on.
Make it happen, Hilary!
PS. If you’d like to hear two geniuses (Bob Mankoff and Joel Mishon) referring to me and/or a winning cartoon caption that I had once submitted, as – a “GENIUS!” / “Ingenious! INGENIOUS!!!”, check out the following link, which is to the Cartoonstock YouTube video – “ ’Shakespeare Monkeys’ by Jack Reilly Caption Contest Commentary”… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q82U1Aw_XPw&t=24s
I’m Harrison, an ex fine dining industry line cook. My stack "The Secret Ingredient" adapts hit restaurant recipes (mostly NYC and L.A.) for easy home cooking.
With the possible exception of the cage one - which, no offense, I can see why they rejected it given the pandemic - I fail to see why these others were rejected. Maybe for some when it came to the first office and the stalking ones, they hit too close to home? I get the tenor of the times, but are we really making ourselves that humorless, that unable to see a lighter side of things? That's trench humor, and that's some of the most incisive. Great stuff here!
lol the maze one and the stalking one got me good
Thank you!! I’m convinced the stalk exchange DOES exist
The maze tattoo is extremely perfect
Thank you it’s one of my favorites!!!
Used Dogs lives prominently on my mantel

After submitting work to them for almost 10 years I feel there’s truly no rhyme or reason as to why something is purchased and why something isn’t
