James Kennedy short story in Chicago Reader + New Yorker Cartoon Game

Blogs, Books, Cartoon/Illustration, Humor, Writers Comments Off on James Kennedy short story in Chicago Reader + New Yorker Cartoon Game

James Kennedy (Nara-ken, 2004-06), author of The Order of Odd-Fish, has a short story in the Chicago Reader this week. It’s called “The Most Dangerous Beard In Town” and, according to James, “it’s whimsically illustrated by the very talented Jeremy Russnak.”

Bonus recommended reading: On his blog today, James shares the results of a New Yorker cartoon game he invented and then played with his family.  One hat is filled with everyone’s New Yorker style drawings and another with urbane punchlines.  The drawings and punchlines are paired randomly, and the results satirize nicely.
