In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #973 from the combined issue of December 29, 2025 & January 5, 2026, a snowman is in the studio of a podcaster during a broadcast session. The snowman speaks. The drawing is by Pia Guerra and Ian Boothby.

"Before I go, there's just one song I'd like you to play."
