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 P. C. Vey, must
be received by Sunday, December 12th. The finalists in the November 29th contest appear below. We
will announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the January 3rd & 10th issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“Just pretend to give them your wallet.”
