My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #919

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #919 from the issue of October 28, 2024, a a pair of cowboys on horseback are chasing a horse driving a convertible. The cowboy with the lasso is speaking. My submission is shown below. The drawing is by Michael Maslin.

"How did you think he'd leave town by high noon?"

These captions didn't sit right:

"You mean he's the only one with GPS?"

"What do you suppose is his horsepower?"

"This is worse than when the dog caught the car."

"Someone should post a speed limit."

Note:  In last week's Caption Contest, cartoonist John Klossner took us to an elevator with two sousaphonists. My caption was a bit claustrophobic. Still, you should go and enjoy the music with Contest #704. Me, I'll wait for the CD.

Note:  Last week Mick Stevens took us on a taxi ride that was simply out of this world. My caption was too grounded.  See the unidentified flying outcome of Contest #468.
