My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #719—Almost

It's open house for my non-entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #719 dated August 10, 2020. I did not get around to entering what I wrote. The drawing is by Jeremy Nguyen.

"The seller lost too many socks."


These captions just weren't clean enough:
"It's just pop architecture. The laundromat is around the corner."
"You'll need a lot of coins."
"They're both washers. On the roof there's a clothesline."
"I can have you in it for pocket change."
"As you can see, it has every convenience."
"You don't need to bring your dirty clothes inside."
"Would you like to take it for a spin?"




August 17, 2020 Update:  The Finalists


August 24, 2020 Update:  I didn't vote this week. I'm partial to Bellingham. Peekskill's not bad either.


August 31, 2020 Update:   The Winner



Note:  Last week in the Caption Contest, cartoonist Michael Maslin showed us a horse of a different color—at least regarding its shoes. My caption wasn't even as good as that last sentence. Put on some snazzy footwear—matching, of course—and check out Contest #718.
