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 Meredith Southard,
must be received by Sunday, November 28th. The finalists in the November 15th contest appear below.
We will announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the December 13th issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“Apparently, I was mistaken. He’s not in over his head.”
