My Entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #609

Bite into my footlong entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #609 for March 26, 2018. The drawing is by Michael Maslin.

"It's an express to the Canyon of Heroes."

This one didn't pass mustard:

"Well, where did you think it got its name?"

April 2, 2018 Update:  The Finalists

April 9, 2018 Update: I voted for the first caption.

April 16, 2018: Winning Caption

Note:  Last week cartoonist Drew Dernavich steamed up the old church organ. My caption was better-suited to a Wurlitzer. Join in the chorus to Contest #608.

Ticker Tape Parade: Garrett Price Proposed New Yorker Cover Art

Garrett Price doesn't spare the paint in an attempt to capture the dizzying effect of a ticker tape parade in New York City's Canyon of Heroes. His technique has produced an impressive cover proposal for the New Yorker bordering on the abstract.

As discussed in yesterday's post, the "print" this seller refers to is most likely original New Yorker cover art, hence the $2,000 price tag.
