Week 7 of The Invitational: Arty Har-Har
Give us a funny idea for a contemporary artwork. Plus the winning of our 'circles of hell' for various annoying offenders.
It’s the anniversary of the death of Andy Warhol, the man who perfected the art form of Saying “This Is Art.” This week’s Invitational contest: Give us a funny idea — you don’t have to draw it! — for a contemporary artwork, as in the examples for this week’s Invitational, over at The Gene Pool here on Substack, along with Gene Weingarten’s musings on 4-foot hotel room beds how he discovered Dave Barry and brought him to The Miami Herald, and, of course, the discussions on the finer points of toilet stall etiquette. Deadline for Week 7: Friday, Feb. 24. Win a copy of the classic children’s educational book The Gas We Pass.
Plus the winners of our contest for “circles of hell” (and appropriate punishments) for various offenders, such as Wordle score sharers, mansplainers, and “people who knowingly serve vegetarians meals with ‘only a little meat.’ ”
And still running — deadline extended to Saturday at 2 p.m. Eastern time: Our caption contest. Seven varied pictures to choose from, and you can send us up to 25 captions among them. Win a tin of Instant Underpants! See Week 6 here.
