My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #839

It looks like The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #839 from the issue of February 27, 2022, in the side pocket. My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Felipe Galindo, known throughout the universe as Feggo.

"Who took away Pluto?"

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #714

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."

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

  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.
