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.
