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 Sofia Warren,
must be received by Sunday, May 3rd. The finalists in the April 20th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the May 18th issue. Anyone age thirteen
or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“Of course—we wait forever, then two
come at the same time.”

I didn’t think to bring my MetroCard.”
Scott Muller, Montclair, N.J.“Apparently, they wouldn’t ask for directions, either.”
