Boring comics...now in motion!
I missed this but apparently The New Yorker has been making short animated versions of "classic" cartoons . I have to question the need to laboriously convert cartoons that take two seconds to read into cartoons that take ten seconds to watch. I mean, why not convert all their "classic" essays into dowloadable audio read by James Earl Jones? C'mon New Yorker, lose that Old Media obsession with words printed on paper.

It's hopelessly implemented too - there's no way of letting it finish loading before you play it, so if your connection's slow it plays in sorry bursts and sputtles. (Sorry if this ends up double-posting: I'm having sign-in trouble.)
yeah, I noticed that. It's pretty annoying.
i had to watch the dog cartoon three times before i could understand what he's whispering. I'd suggest sub-titles, but that kind of defeats the whole purpose.
