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 Jeremy Nguyen,
must be received by Sunday, February 9th. The finalists in the January 27th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the March 2nd issue. Anyone age thirteen
or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“ Yes, we seated a potato, but he had a jacket.”
