Does anyone actually enter these into the competition?

For the "tall picture frame on desk" cartoon, the New Yorker's picked these three for the vote:

"Damn, I loved that giraffe."

"It's my extended family."

"I love her. And she can dunk."

All of these are unbelievably weak. The one about the three kids in a coat upthread is a million times better.

Feel like a splicin of the nine lives with dirty harry could do it, eg

"now, i know what you're thinkin. have i four lives left, or only three?" kind of thing

poll that whitey music pfunkboy (darraghmac), Monday, 4 March 2013 22:36 (thirteen years ago)

Oh, good idea.
But judging by the finalists for the tall frame one, I expect one would stand a better chance with something like "Eek! A mouse!"

Øystein, Monday, 4 March 2013 22:44 (thirteen years ago)

Ya but we have to be true to ourselves

a+ for the dirty harry joke.

its nice to have some fun cartoons to work with after the totally hopeless stuff they were throwing up there for a while.

s.clover, Tuesday, 5 March 2013 01:10 (thirteen years ago)

Amen to that

still really feel like there should be two competitions, one for the "unlock the caption that makes sense of the cartoon" competition that they so clearly enjoy running, and another for a "caption that would actually be in a real new yorker cartoon"

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 5 March 2013 11:24 (thirteen years ago)

i always aim for "real new yorker"

Roger Ebert's contribution makes no sense:
