http://www.cloud9.net/~bradmcc/RYO_cartoon.html Copyright © 1999-2002 Brad McCormick, Ed.D., Invenit et fecit. bradmcc@cloud9.net 27 April 2006 (2006-04-27 ISO 8601) v03.02		A classic Zap comix cartoon (ca. 1972). A man goes into a cheap diner -- what we in America call a "greasy spoon". The man orders a hamburger. All utensils in the diner (knives, forks, etc.) attack the man to try to protect the poor defenseless innocent hamburger against threatened murder by mastication (being eaten). The utensils chase the man out the door, and he runs for his life! The man runs and runs, with the vigilante utensils in hot pursuit! As the utensils posse closes in on him... ...The man gets a bright idea (cartoon frame with light bulb above the man's head): The man runs back into the diner and orders ANOTHER HAMBURGER! [Compare: Maurice Ravel's Opera: "L'Enfant et les Sortilèges" (See also, and).]
In their November 17, 2003 issue, The New Yorker magazine ran its 5th annual "Cartoon Caption Contest". I sincerely believe that I never knew about their contest until I saw it on "The Back Page" of the 17Nov03 issue. I think my "Make your own cartoon" page was my own idea, based on thinking how one could change what the characters in a Dilbert cartoon say to each other. In any case, the only prizes I offer are chances for you to: (1) Share your cartoon with me, (2) Possibly have me post your cartoon on my website where very few persons will see it, and/or (3) For you to show your cartoon to other persons and maybe even get it published, yourself (I have never got any of my cartoons published). Just do it! You protest, dear reader, that you cannot draw. I can't draw, either. Verily, I say unto you: Cut and paste and reproduce [i.e., Xerox aka photocopy]! Let other people do the drawing for you (it's called: collage). Get your ideas out -- by any [semiotic] means necessary! [Don't forget: all existing symbolic forms make up a universal semiotic parts bin (aka smorgasbord) for your new creations! Take what you want; eat what you take!]
