Transformative work of the day

New Yorker cover featuring Bert & Ernie:
Additional fact of interest to copyright/licensing/etc. geeks: the image originally appeared on Tumblr, which mainstream media seem to have difficulty describing.  Tumblr is the host, so saying that there was an "unsolicited" submission to Tumblr is like saying that you made an unsolicited submission to Wordpress.  You can submit to various individually controlled Tumblr blogs, though I can't find the original post, nor can I find a submit function on the New Yorker's Tumblr, which makes some sense given idea submission law.
