New Yorker Cartoon Draws Charges of Racism
Founder & Editor in Chief
Who ever thought The New Yorker would stoop so low? Check out this week’s cartoon caption contest winner. The link here is to the Gawker blog, which was quick to question the wisdom of the cartoon editors who chose the cartoon and caption and of the New Yorker readers who voted for it. The comments on the Gawker post are worth reading too. The cartoon is printed on the last page of the September 27 issue of The New Yorker.
