My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #913

An artist goes to her psychotherapist in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #913 from the issue of September 16, 2024 and she paints a Rorschach test. My submission is shown below. The insightful drawing is by Suerynn Lee.

"But I'm not repressed. It's just a kitty cat."

These captions lacked awareness:

"I'm going to have to charge you for this."
"This is more about you than me."
"That's it. Too sane for you?"
"If you want, I can make it more deranged."
"Whoops! Is that too much self-doubt?"
"I see the inability to make a living as an artist."

The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #121

They're not quite masterpieces hanging on the gallery wall in the Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #121. My three entries are not quite masterpieces either, but they're shown below. The drawing is by David Ostow.

"Then in 1988 he became one of the first artists to experiment with Prozac."
"Around this time she finalized her divorce."
"Here she went all commercial."

April 15, 2021 Update:  With the transition from Cartoon Collections to Cartoonstock, some entries were lost and the contest had to be run for a second time. This gave me the chance to rethink two of my entries.

Jim Dine's Art

You know that it's art if it says so. This limited edition offset lithographic poster by Jim Dine from 1968 is definitely art. See for yourself.

Jim Dine, Art, 1968, 130/144

It is being offered this week at Skinner:

Skinner Listing Closing June 1, 2015

Note:  There's more art by Jim Dine on the blog, although the rest of it isn't necessarily labelled as such.

If anyone knows the source of Jim Dine's photograph, just give a holler.

That edition size of 144--a dozen dozen--reminds me of a joke I first heard from high school math teacher John Titterton back in the day:  Why is the number 288 never mentioned in polite company?  It's two gross.
