My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #914

Two goldfish in a bowl hover over a laptop computer in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #914 from the issue of September 23, 2024. My submission is shown below. The watertight drawing is by Ivan Ehlers.

"I'm calling it the Bowl Wide Web."




These captions didn't hold water:

"Now there's something we can surf."
"Not that kind of net."
"I was taught to stay away from any net."
"Why do we need to communicate with the entire bowl?"
"It's great for jogging the old memory."
"If only it were waterproof."
