Episode 218 - Matt Diffee Returns

New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest Podcast

Matt Diffee joins us for a second time on this week's podcast.
Matt had been a New Yorker cartoonist until recently, when he decided to try his hand at creating children's books. His first book, "Zip Zap Wickety Wack", will be available on September 30th. We talk with Matt about the process of creating and publishing a Children's book. We also touch on his Rejection Collection cartoon books and the reluctance of creating controversial cartoons in today's world.
