As the Eustace Tilley contest continues (the deadline is January 24; hope you’re quick on the draw!), Mental Floss asks for a dandy definition. Commenters are happy to provide, and have good taste in icons, too. Take a deep breath before looking through some of the Flick images entered into the competition so far, including, for instance, this one, inspired by the “Bodies” exhibit. OK, I admit I kind of like it, though I was grossed out by idea of the exhibit itself. And this Simpsons Tilley is funny, too.
Also, I keep meaning to mention that there’s a very interesting-looking New Yorker discussion group in Washington, D.C., called TalkTNY. Here’s the club’s website, where you can learn more, including:

Based in the Washington, DC area, TalkTNY, the New Yorker magazine reading group, gathers at a cafe or coffee shop to talk about recent articles and cartoons in the magazine. We usually have between 4 to 8 articles chosen to be read in advance, along with discussion questions.
Meetings are held every other week, usually on Saturdays.
