I don't understand.

First one is a knock-off of a classic Gary Larson cartoon. Second one is pure deadpan gold.

I'll explain for Scott...in case he's not kidding. The devil is leading Martha Stewart into a room filled with "bad taste" decorating: the dogs who play poker, a lava lamp, nudie calendar, animated cat clock, etc. It's all stuff Martha would hate...so it's hell! The Eskimo stuff is priceless. It's so cold and the pickin's are so slim, everyone has to dress alike. I hope I'm not presuming too much here.

I save lots of time by just assuming I'm not going to get the New Yorker cartoons.
