My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #856

Pop goes the corn in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #856 from the issue of July 3, 2023. My caption is shown below. The corny drawing is by Lonnie Millsap.

"All right. Climate change may have a kernel of truth."

These captions didn't pop:

"Hint all you want—I am not going to pop the question."
"Oh, what a relief it is."
"Again, there's nothing premature about it."
"Well, one of us has got to be missing something."

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #807

I found my way to an entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #807 from the issue of June 20, 2022. My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Tom Toro.

"This isn't working. Let's try his country cousin."

These captions got lost along the way:

"I don't expect much from the city  mouse."
"We've trained him to avoid carbs."
"This is just like 'Goblet of Fire.'"

July 9, 2022 Update:  I voted for the caption from Roswell, and not just because it followed a similar line to my own.
