My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #926

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #926 from the issue of December 16, 2024, we visit a standup comedy club. A tomato is onstage at the microphone while a broccoli stalk and a carrot are seated up front. The carrot speaks. The drawing is by Elisabeth McNair.
"We're leaving at the first bent carrot joke."



These captions were not USDA approved:

"I thought his humor would be too raw."
"I might enjoy this if I were stewed."
"He's funny, but there isn't any meat there."
"Let's throw some nightshade."
"He's looking at us. Don't turn red."

Iceland 2024: Fridheimar

On Thursday, January 25, we took a Golden Circle tour by bus. The first stop was Fridheimar, a series of greenhouses with artificial light suitable for growing tomatoes in the Icelandic winter. The photos are by members of my family.
