CALL ME SNAKE

About a year ago, I came across the cartoon competitions in the New Yorker and soon after that in the Boston Globe. I sent in many excellent entries, certain that all of them would win. But none did and I realized the people running those things didn’t know what they were doing. So I decided to run one on my own, the right way.

To get the ball rolling, I’m going to post a sample entry. I can’t do the artwork myself–I contract out for that, don’t you?–so let me instead set the scene. The establishment is called JOE’S DINER, SAVINGS&LOAN. Behind the counter is a slobby-looking guy in some kind of white chef’s outfit who asks the customer: “Do you want fries with that CD?”

OK, the rest is up to you. And sorry in advance for setting the bar so high.
