[Vwoolf] "New Yorker" cartoon from 2003

[Brenda S. Helt]

My bet is that Hamilton’s familiarity with Woolf extends no further than Albee’s play title. And that he had a deadline so just threw something together.  He should’ve gone with “ ‘I Love Lucy’ meets ‘Selling New York’.”

Explaining jokes is always a fool's errand, and it's hard for me to see who's talking to whom about whom in the image. (And yet, in I dive.)

 

But the caption seems to me to capture something about the deep inside of Boston/Cambridge bourgeois-bohemianism: she's haute; he's down-to-earth NPR-listening auto-mechanic type. A joke about culture clash w/in the NPR-listening world.

Dear Stuart, 

 

Could the witticism be related to the woman on the right who has her face turned away and her hand to her throat as if the conversation has no appeal to her? Perhaps the cartoonist did not know that Woolf was interested in cars, as indicated by Ann Martin's research?

Much as I like Wm. Hamilton’s cartoons, I don’t get this one.
