My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #982

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #982 from the issue of March 16, 2026, a couple walks through a snowy city teeming with penguins. The woman speaks. My submission is below. The drawing is by Meredith Southard.

"I know I could make sense of this with the help of Morgan Freeman."


I felt these captions weren't playful enough:

"Remember when we brought home the first two in our luggage?"
"Spring can't come soon enough."
"I really thought they would bring in more tourists."
"At least they're an improvement over the pigeon."
"Remember when the neighborhood was colorful?"
