The New Yorker’s holding a contest inviting readers to submit versions of thier iconic mascot:

For the next two weeks, The New Yorker invites readers, budding or would-be cartoonists (as well as bona-fide pros and assorted graffiti artists of course) to create their own humorous version of Eustace Tilley, the iconic dandy who appeared on the first cover in 1925 and has returned for nearly every anniversary issue since. Valid entries will be displayed on a dedicated Flick’r site for all the world to see. Up to twenty winning entries, selected by New Yorker editors, will be published on newyorker.com to commemorate the magazine’s 83rd anniversary.

Visit newyorker.com/go/tilley to take part! Checking the guidelines, it seems only U.S. residents are eligible. Sorry, fellow Canucks!

Seen here is a great version by our very own Adam Koford. He’s got a few more over at Flickr.

    Fhat’s funny, I just ran accross Adam Koford’s flickr account totally at random today, and I couldn’t get enough of his “Laugh-Out-Loud Cats” comics. But then I came accross the Eustace Tilley image and I thought “I’ve seen that before”… and sure enough I did. Right here on Drawn! The internet is smaller than it would seem.
