Many of my losing entries in the New Yorker's daunting Cartoon Caption Contest

It has become a ritual for me to enter the New Yorker's weekly Cartoon Caption Contest. I won only once, long ago in April 2011, and the magazine's cartoon editor, Robert Mankoff, wrote a blog about that. In his blog he included three of my losing submissions he enjoyed...and one that was too tumescent, perhaps, to get past the magazine's board of editors. I believe that one (above) was the funniest I've ever submitted. But look over these losers and I'll link Mankoff's blog down at the bottom324.jpg325.jpg326.jpg327.jpg328.jpg329.jpg330.jpg331.jpg332.jpg333.jpg334.jpg335.jpg336.jpg337.jpg338.jpg339.jpg340.jpg341.jpg Go here for Robert Mankoff's blog. And click here to enter this week's contest.
