Caption translation: "I wish New Yorker cartoons weren't so abstruse and pedantic"

Check out this cartoon from this week's New Yorker:

 by Robert Mankoff

Ha! Classic.

Get it? See, there's this bald guy, and he's sitting at home thinking something in French, maybe about how he wishes he weren't bald. It's funny cause it's true.


[Not to condescend, but I thought I'd clarify just to be sure -- sometimes The New Yorker's cartoons can be a bit inscrutable, as they cheerfully admit themselves. It's also kinda funny -- funny ironic, not funny ha-ha -- that the artist of the above cartoon, Bob Mankoff, is the cartoon editor of the magazine and author of the "I Don't Get It" Cartoon IQ Test from Nov. 3rd's Cartoon Issue. Expect to get a few letters about your own cartoon this week, Bob. Va te faire foutre!]
