Spotlight: The Jump Scare
One thing that is essential to almost all cartoons is surprise. Surprise is essential to humour because it confounds the viewer’s expectations and offers a fresh perspective. How many times have you heard or seen a bad joke that made you groan and said ‘That’s obvious, I saw that coming’?

“Demon in the Parking Lot” Caption Contest Commentary with Lawrence Wood
This month we were joined by David Borchart. Unlike his fellow New Yorker cartoonists who think of jokes and then draw them up, David comes up with the drawing first and then tries to think of a fitting caption. In other words, he does what everyone who enters the caption contest is trying to do.
Congratulations to Mark Strout Here is the winning entry:
