“I had a hunch the Losers would really take to this contest,” said Bob Staake, who’d suggested his zany hybrid slogan/map-route idea to me a month ago after it had come to him in a dream. Earlier this week I showed The Style Invitational’s longtime artist/so-much-more my shortlist of entries for Week 1507; for once, he was eager to weigh in on them, something he declines to do for the captions to his cartoons. “There are a lot of really inventive ones here — which is very vindicating,” Bob told me. I hope Bob feels sufficiently vindicated to suggest some more contests (and deal with it when I say no to most of them), since this week’s results turned out to be fun to read as well as, according to several Losers, especially fun to do.
