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 Benjamin Schwartz,
must be received by Sunday, March 1st. The finalists in the February 10th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the March 16th issue. Anyone age thirteen
or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“No one crosses the Pirates of Penn Station.”
