Episode 171 - Bob Mankoff

On part 2 of this week's episode, we talk with former New Yorker Cartoon Editor and current Cartoon Editor at Air Mail Magazine, Bob Mankoff. Bob talks about the New Yorker and CartoonStock caption contests, A.I., dream cartoons and something new that he's been working on with Robert Nowak (former manager of the New Yorker contest crowdsource voting), called Toondeloo. Toondeloo is a contest based on the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest. Enter the caption that you entered in the current week's New Yorker contest and then come back later to vote on all the captions entered into Toondeloo. After the voting is done, contestants will see a Leader's Board with the captions ranked by voting score. Check it out here:
