Episode 170 - Lawrence Wood

Larry Wood, the all time New Yorker cartoon caption contest winner, author and CartoonStock caption contest judge, joins us to talk about the current New Yorker contests, our favorite cartoons from this week’s issue of the New Yorker and the latest CartoonStock contest. There were some great captions for what we thought was a tough cartoon to work with and There's a another tough cartoon to caption for the CartoonStock contest this month and we highly recommend that if you normally don't enter that one, you should enter it this month as anybody with a half way decent idea for a caption stands a good chance of being a finalist.
