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 Mick Stevens,
must be received by Sunday, November 3rd. The finalists in the October 21st contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the November 18th issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“It’s not you. It’s November.”
