I think groany puns are the wrong approach. New Yorker captions almost never do that.

I came up with what I think would make a perfect New Yorker cartoon --
It's a relatively close frame of two women talking, and one his showing her hand, and one is showing an engagement ring with a very large diamond and a kind of clip-on spotlight attached to the ring, lighting the diamond, and the woman is saying "You don't think it's too ostentatious, do you?"

So, uh, if that's ever the contest drawing, there's my entry.

weird, I kinda miss these threads

Anyone is welcome to keep them going if you want! I've been ultra unreliable the past two weeks because I've been relocating to a different city, visiting friends out of town, and starting a new job. Hopefully next week I'll be able to set it up (which just means saving a copy of the new caption on tinypic.com so the link won't disappear in the future, and starting a new poll thread later in the week), but if not anyone can do it too of course.
