My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #1010

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #1010 from the issue of October 19, 2026, a married couple stand at a giant outdoor mailbox with the lid open and the flag raised for a pickup. They are at the end of the driveway looking into the mailbox at his or her mother, who they are sending off. She sits expectantly clutching her bag on a chair. The wife waves while the husband, his arms folded, speaks. The drawing is by Tom Chitty.

"I promised we'd send you home first class."



These captions were returned to sender:

"Call if you need extra postage."
"Remember, write as much as you want."
"Now this time don't go postal."
"You're going home by GrannyGram."
