Five years Quote by Bob Mankoff

““I have entered the New Yorker's Cartoon Caption Contest almost weekly virtually since it began and have never even been a finalist. I have done more writing for free for the New Yorker in the last five years than for anybody in the previous 40 years.

It's that just once I want to see one of my damn captions in the magazine that publishes the best cartoons in the world." - Roger Ebert (By the way, in 2011 Ebert finally won, after 107 tries.)””

“Whatand why were never questions for me. How was the only question. When I look back now, I realize that I never thought about what I wanted to become in life. I only thought about how I wanted to live my life. And I knew that the “how” could only be determined within me and by me. There was a…
