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 Julia Suits,
must be received by Sunday, May 17th. The finalists in the May 4th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the June 1st issue. Anyone age thirteen
or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“I heard dinner needed rescuing.”
