So I received some results from the New Yorker. All bad. They replied to my first 4 submissions all at the same time. From the time I received their responses, it appeared the individual reviewing them was not spending much time reading them. To be fair the 10 comics per submission are only one panel each. But, the longest gap between emails was 13 minutes. Mostly it was 2 or 3 minutes between their responses.
The New Yorker’s response was nothing more than a pat answer that encourages me to read New Yorker comics to get a better sense of what they want. Which is disappointing.
But, I will be sending my 10th submission soon, and I plan to submit more. At least I have a bunch of comics I can now use on the site or if I ever publish a book as comics that haven’t been published before.
This has certainly been a good exercise, and pushed me to create more than I knew I could. I’m very grateful for your suggestion to submit to the New Yorker. Thank you 🙂
I am very sorry and tremendously disappointed in the New Yorker response. I hope you will keep submitting. As you say, you can publish a book of cartoons one day if they never accept them. I just see them in the New Yorker. Maybe I am wrong. My husband and I get the New Yorker and always look at the cartoons and yours seem to me to be of the same caliber. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. I am glad, very glad you are not giving up. Keep the faith!
Thank you very much for the support. It is very nice of you to say mine are of the same caliber. I’ll keep at it and let you know if I ever get accepted. Thanks again 🙂

While a cat on a bird feeder is funny, that is meant to be a drawing of a squirrel. Squirrels have a tendency to steal bird seed.

It does look like a squirrel.

“Tendency” is a kind way to put it. Between squirrels and raccoons, I have the fattest little wildlife in town.

That’s helpful to know. I should try to make the squirrel larger so it comes across better on phones. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

😀 That happens with my bird-feeder! “My” squirrels will try anything to get some seeds.

hahaha 🙂 I know some bird feeders are designed to prevent squirrels from getting on them, but the squirrels always seem to find a way.

hahaha 🙂 Thanks so much 🙂 Perhaps stores should sell a squirrel feeder to give the birds a break.
