On a bright Wednesday moing, on the glass-encased 38th floor of One World Trade Center, about a dozen cartoonists waited anxiously outside Bob Mankoff's office for a chance to pitch The New Yorker's cartoon editor. Yet, amid the pressure, at least one person there was breathing easy: Colin Stokes, Mankoff's assistant.

While the 18-year-old contest is wildly popular, and wiing is prestigious enough to put on a resume (OK, not really), Stokes was in danger of going, as Mankoff put it, "humor blind." T...
