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 Marisa Acocella, must
be received by Sunday, November 15th. The finalists in the November 2nd contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the November 30th issue. Anyone age thirteen
or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“During next week’s session, we’ll have you
paint yourself into a corner.”
Brian McAndrew, Port Weller, Ont.“Welcome to Canada—we’ve been expecting you, have a seat.”
Lucy Steinmann, St. Paul, Minn.“No, by all means—I want to see where you’re going with this.”
Kevin Barsaloux, Chicago, Ill.
“We can’t be overthrown, but we can be swayed.”
