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 Lars Kenseth,
must be received by Sunday, September 20th. The finalists in the September 7th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the October 5th issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“We should be able to finish the album
