It's not that I am suggesting that you go to the New Yorker cartoon bank and try your hand at making a LOLNewYorkerCartoon. I don't care either way. I'm just putting it out there that this is an option.
This Faux 'New Yorker' Cartoon Was Drawn On 'New York' Company Time
New York mag contributing editor Michael Idov sends us this cartoon, telling us it's "quite likely the worst thing I've done in my life." Oh, c'mon! We're sure that's not the case!

Is "'New Yorker' Humor" Purely Random?
It was in the marbled thinking chamber that we were reading both Playboy and the New Yorker at once. A theory resulted: That the rate of humor found in New Yorker cartoons is the exact same as naturally occurring humor in the world. That is to say, in the case of any decent drawing set-up, one could pair a drawing with any caption and reasonably expect to laugh the same amount. We decided to test our theory of stochastic humor by mashing-up Playboy cartoons with New Yorker captions and vice versa.

If the perspective was a tiny bit better this could be in the actual New Yorker, because it's sort of an unfunny old people joke. Do you have an illustrated unfunny old people joke? Send it to Emily.

'If I Did It' To Be Published By Fake Publisher You've Never Heard Of
Publisher's Marketplace reports, "We were surprised when media outlets made much of the news that a "New York publisher" had picked up rights to IF I DID IT. Last night, a statement was released showing the true nature of those first implications — the purchaser is Eric Kampmann's Beaufort Books (distributed by Midpoint), and a Reuters piece cites a publication date of October 3. Though it now appears to have been removed from their site, as of recently Beaufort described themselves this way: 'Beaufort offers an intriguing alternative to the traditional publishing model. We guide the publishing process, share in the risk, and offer the expertise and experience that are necessary to make any book a success.'" In other words, the O.J. book is for all intents and purposes being published by iUniverse. Pure class. Commenter MisterHippity "drew" this faux New Yorker cartoon, by the way.

This Faux 'New Yorker' Cartoon Is Taking This Way Too Seriously
"We strove to emulate the New Yorker's simultaneous contempt for new trends and lack of effort to criticize them," explain this cartoon's creators, Matthieu Comeau and Claire Renwick of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

This Faux 'New Yorker' Cartoon Can Be Appreciated On Many Levels
At first when we saw this cartoon we thought that the woman in the lower lefthand corner was supposed to be Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, and that this was a joke about that song "My Humps," which is now stuck in your head. But then we noticed the woman's visible lady-cleft and realized it was actually meant to be a joke about the word "cameltoe." And then we asked ourselves: "Is the song 'My Humps' actually about cameltoe? Is Fergie just that much of a genius?" Please continue to send your cartoons to Emily.
