My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #980

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #980 from the issue of March 2, 2026, a king's robe doubles as a red carpet for the Oscars. The king's attendant speaks. The drawing is by Tyson Cole.

"They don't recognize you without your new clothes."



These captions didn't win any awards:

"I'll make sure the photographers don't cut your head off."
"You can't throw them in the dungeon for being photogenic."
"You can't chain them up for pleasing the crowd."
"Face it, Sire, benevolence just isn't box office."
