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 Christopher Weyant,
must be received by Sunday, January 30th. The finalists in the January 17th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the February 14th & 21st issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“These should help me approach your
father on his own level.”

invent it when we get there.”
