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 Victoria Roberts,
must be received by Sunday, September 22nd. The finalists in the September 9th contest appear below.
We will announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the October 7th issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“I just invented leftovers.”
