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 Frank Cotham,
must be received by Sunday, April 10th. The finalists in the March 28th contest appear below. We will
announce the winner, and the finalists in this week’s contest, in the April 25th & May 2nd issue. Anyone age
thirteen or older can enter or vote. To do so, and to read the complete rules, visit contest.newyorker.com.“Turns out they only check to see if you return the shoes.”
