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 Sarah Kempa,
must be received by Sunday, October 10th. The finalists in the September 27th contest appear below.
We will announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the October 25th 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 ’ve ordered our drinks straight up.”
