Catch my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #714 for June 22, 2020. The drawing is by P. C. Vey.

"See? With the ball, it's much more humane."

These captions didn't float:

"See? Cats make everything better."
"See? She's more fun than the dog."

June 29, 2020 Update:  The Finalists

July 13, 2020 Update:  Notwithstanding a superficial similarity between Wheaton's caption and my own, I voted with Portland.


July 20, 2020 Update:  The Winner

Note:  Last time around in the Caption Contest, cartoonist Lars Kenseth took us to a garage servicing a loaded clown car with a stowaway on board. My caption failed inspection. Fasten your seatbelt and head over to Contest #713.

"Now put that back in the birdbath where you found it."

Caption Contest throwaways:

"They always have to show us up."

July 3, 2017 Update:  Winning Caption:

Note:  Last time, cartoonist Charie Hankin gave us a pirate working the cash register in a coffee shop decorated with an anchor THIS big! After that, the Caption Contest declared a moratorium on all size gags. Oh, wait a minute... Anyway, mateys, abandon all hope ye who entered Contest #571—exceptin' ye havin' been declared one o' the finalists, o' course.

Have a ball reading my blog posts about Michael Maslin.
