On part 2 of this week's episode, we interview cartoonist Ken Krimstein.  Ken talks about his early years as a cartoonist and his start at the New Yorker. He touches on his several books and talks a bit about his next book. We delve into the humor of being offensive and discuss some cartoons that would not be published in today’s climate.Visit Ken’s website to see his work and purchase his books. http://www.kenkrimstein.com  On Part 1 of the episode, we discuss...    The winning caption for New Yorker contest #816   Finalists for contest #818   Current New Yorker Contest #820 Send us questions or comments to:   [email protected] and corrections:-Towards the end of the interview with Ken, Beth mentions a cartoon about a couple in bed and attributes the cartoon to Christopher Weyant, The cartoon is actually by Zachary Kanin (sorry Zachary!)-During our talk about the caption contests, Beth mentions learning that you can’t buy sliced pizza in the midwest. This is from our preliminary chitchat with Mr. Krimstein. We usually talk to the cartoonist a bit before we get into the actual podcast. As a bonus for this episode, I’ve attached the discussion Paul, Beth and Ken have about pizza and bagels. If you’re at all interested in it, it’s after the final bit of sign off music.
