Caption writing lessons, continued

Just for fun, we've posted over at our sister blog, The Daily Views, a short piece entitled, How to win the New Yorker cartoon caption contest (and maybe the Observer's).  It links to a piece on slate.com where a recent New Yorker winner reveals his secrets.   As our regular contributors will recognize, not everything he says is applicable to our little contest here, but he does have some good insights.  Enjoy, and see how they might work for you during next week's contest.  We'll have the winner of the Obama/Clinton toon posted sometime early Friday.  Please join us again then!
