My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #986—Almost

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #986 from the issue of April 13, 2026, a woman is doing squats with barbells in a gym while Atlas kneels with the world on his shoulders, sweating. The woman speaks. My submission, below, was all ready but I forgot to enter it. I didn't vote either. It happens. The drawing is by Daniel Kanhai.


"Aren't there asses to stare at in Rockefeller Center?"




These captions didn't work out:
"But can you touch your toes?"
"How do you hydrate?"
"Again, I'm never going to read Ayn Rand."





April 26, 2026 Update:  The Finalists





May 2, 2026 Update:  I voted for the caption from Plano.
