New Yorker cartoons have tickled our funny bones for generations. The witty compositions have appeared in innumerable digests and page-a-day calendars, graced countless t-shirts and coffee mugs, and more or less become lodged in our collective unconscious. But eventually, the novelty wears off. Readers can only view a classic Charles Addams or William Steig offering so many times before its humor dissipates.
In order to breathe new life into old New Yorker cartoons, CRABNOX has applied postmodern techniques of deconstruction and reconstruction to several classic, but no longer amusing, comic panels from the iconic magazine. Cartoon images were selected at random from the New Yorker's vast database, divorced of their original captions, and paired with new captions randomly harvested from other New Yorker cartoons.
Presented below are just a few of CRABNOX's refunnified creations.
Ha ha. Hilarious!
