Am I the only one who finds New Yorker cartoons dreadfully unfunny? I used to have a subscription, and found myself wishing I could get a discount by subscribing to a cartoon-less version.
- lainga 9y agoYou're not alone. I personally think they're a multi-decade instance of the "soap, no radio!" experiment: if you fashion yourself a NY socialite, you'll nervously laugh.
- KingMob 9y agoCould be. I'm definitely an over-educated New Yorker of 15 years now, and I haven't laughed once at a cartoon of theirs, but maybe that's why I'm not a socialite?
- natecavanaugh 9y agoI've found a few chuckle worthy, or kind of witty, but the vast majority seem like the inside joke of people who come off as wanting you to think of them as more in the know than you. And they could be. But give me a good Far Side comic strip in its place any day :)
