Episode 188 - John Donohue

New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast

On part 2 of this week's episode, we talk with Artist/writer, John Donohue. John was a writer and editor at the New Yorker and tried his hand at cartooning for a while and had five of his cartoons published in it. He decided to take a new direction in his career and started doing on-the-spot ink drawings of restaurants. He's drawn restaurants from all over the world, including London, Paris, New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia and many more. He's had three books published of his drawings from Paris, London and New York City.
John does sell limited edition prints of his drawings, so if you have a favorite restaurant or one that brings back special memories, check out his website and see if he has it. He also takes requests!

On Part 1 of the episode, we discuss the current contests:
Winning captions for New Yorker contest #926 (He's a herb-a-bore.)
Finalists for contest #928 (How about a little screen time?)
Current New Yorker contest #930 (Krilling me softly with your song.)
We also talk about our favorite cartoons from the current issue and we discuss the recently ended CartoonStock contest (The dog with fleas and flies).
(I try to write bad pun descriptions of these contests and while thinking of one for this one, I came up with a caption I wish I thought of earlier, "Timmy says hi.")
