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, November 22nd. The finalists in the November 9th contest appear below.
We will announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the December 7th issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“We demand blanket immunity.”

“And, when you get hungry, the cafeteria is to
your right, left, left, right, left, straight, right, straight,
left, and then you push on the big lever.”
