Each week, we provide a cartoon in need of a caption. You, the reader, submit a caption, we choose
three finalists, and you vote for your favorite. Caption submissions for this week’s cartoon, by P. C. Vey,
must be received by Sunday, August 11th. The finalists in the July 22nd contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the August 26th issue. Anyone age thirteen
or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“It started as a crusade. Now it’s just a commute.”
