Episode 267 - John Konno

Frequent Caption Contest finalist, John Konno joins us on the podcast this week.
John (or a member of his family) has been a finalist in the New Yorker contest five times and more times than we can count in the CartoonStock contest (he's been the top winner in the last two contests). We talk with him about the how he got into entering the contests and he joins us in the contest discussions and our favorite cartoons from the current issue of the New Yorker. 

The podcast was much saddened to learn of the passing of P.C. Vey this last week. Peter was a wonderfully talented cartoonist and appeared frequently in the New Yorker with many of his cartoons appearing in the caption contest. We hope to have a tribute podcast dedicated to him in the next few weeks.

We mention the Reverse Caption Contest and that the deadline to enter the current one is coming up soon. You can enter it here:

We discuss the winning entry for Contest #1003 (Frozen treat meet.)

Finalists for Contest #1005 (Shotgun Shell Station marriage.)

Current Contest #1007 (Wolfgang Pork.)
