NewYorker Cartoon-off : Katz and Munroe draw cartoons related to String Theory

Farley Katz, who draws for New Yorker magazine, ran into xkcd.com’s Randall Munroe in a grocery store. He challenged Munroe to a cartoon-off — each cartoonist to produce drawings about the Internet as envisioned by the elderly, String Theory, 1999, and one’s favorite animal eating one’s favorite food.

These are the Cartoons that each of them created for the String Theory topic:

Katz:

Munroe:

Munroe was the clear winner here! Katz drawing is not even amusing! (failed pun on “not even wrong”).

Munroe is the master of cracking “inside jokes” that only a person in the field will find funny and this is no exception.
