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 Ellis Rosen,
must be received by Sunday, April 19th. The finalists in the April 6th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the May 4th issue. Anyone age thirteen
or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“We promise there will be no awkward silence.”
Todd Houlette, New York City“No, you come in on four.”
