In 2019, His graphic novel, "Young Frances" was published with positive reviews. The New York Times stated: “It’s a testament to his vision that a book with such a long gestation can still feel so of the moment. Or maybe it’s that the floating world of one’s 20s, rendered here with such sympathy and humor, always lives somewhere in us, as accessible as a recurring dream.”We talk with Hartley about how he got into cartooning, his methods and his recent cartoon in the Caption Contest.You can learn more about Hartley and find where you can purchase his comics and graphic novel at his website:https://www.popehats.caOn Part 1 of the episode, we discuss the current contests:Winning captions for New Yorker contest #906 (Belly Can Flop).Finalists for contest #908 (Magic On The Beach). Current New Yorker contest #910 (Heaven Harp Us). We also talk about our favorite cartoons from the current issue of the New Yorker and our frustration with the current contest rating system (They really, really need to remove duplicate captions!)Send us questions or comments to:  [email protected] your contest complaints or suggestions to:[email protected].
