About the show
To the outside world Farley Katz is a New Yorker cartoonist. But behind the scenes he is a sick man, selling only a tiny percentage of his cartoons due to their offensive, tone deaf, often filthy nature. The numbers speak for themselves. Ten years times ten cartoons a week divided by success quotient 0.05 equals a lifetime of rejection. Farley has been drawing twisted, unsellable cartoons for so long he decided to mechanize the operation. Now the Rejectotron 7.7x draws the offensive jokes that will never see the light of publication for him. Come see the cartoons that were actually shown to New Yorker editors, causing more than one monocle to shatter.

About Fastnet
From its first iteration in 1854, to its current structure completed in 1904, Fastnet has witnessed a significant part of modern history – two world wars and the Irish Civil War. Satellite feeds and meteorology have reaffirmed the Fastnet as an essential beacon and eye upon the merciless North Atlantic Ocean. In 1979, 18 people died in the the Fastnet Race from Plymouth, England. Strict regulations were enacted.
