Raise a glass to my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #720 dated August 17, 2020. The weighty drawing is by Benjamin Schwartz.
These captions didn't work hard enough:
August 24, 2020 Update: The Finalists
August 31, 2020 Update: I voted with Phoenix. Kudos to Mesa, though, for doing better than I did with my "frustration" caption.
September 7, 2020 Update: The Winner
Note: Last week in the Caption Contest, cartoonist Jeremy Nguyen noted that the New York real estate market was having a wash sale. (I wish I'd thought of that then.) I wrote a caption or two but neglected to enter. Drop in a washload and check out Contest #719.
