On Sunday, October 6, in Washington, DC, there was a signing event for Have I Got a Cartoon for You!: The Moment Magazine Book of Jewish Cartoons edited by Bob Mankoff and just recently published. It seemed like a good idea to order a signed and personalized copy and forego the trip to the Capital. It wasn't cheap: the full $19.95 published price for a slim paperback—just 86 cartoons, no discount—plus $7.25 for shipping, a Priority Mail price for shipping via media mail. I requested that Bob Mankoff personalize the copy to me and I have an email receipt that confirms this; you can see for yourself just how well that went.
Moment magazine, by the way, does not publish freestanding cartoons. Rather, the cartoons in this book are licensed through Mr. Mankoff's Cartoon Collections venture and the collection is published under the MomentBooks imprint. Moment does have a caption contest, though, and one of Benjamin Schwartz's cartoons from the November/December 2015 contest does in fact appear here. The caption is not a finalist from the contest and may very well be Mr. Schwartz's own.
Reader, would you care to know who won that long-ago caption contest? I'll give you a hint: It's the person to whom this copy of the book is not personalized.
Note: You can revisit the Moment Cartoon Caption Contest for November/December 2015 here.
