If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll know I’m a fan of New Yorker cartoons. From time to time, I have even been known to participate in the New Yorker’s weekly Cartoon Caption Contest. Truth be told, I have never won. But this week? I feel very good about this one. “Why,” I hear you ask? Because this week’s offering combines two of the oldest tropes in the cartoon business: “Mobster victims in cement overshoes,” and “they said.”
Here’s a previous cartoon offering in the “cement overshoes” category.
And here’s one with “they said.”
So, what’s my entry in this week’s Cartoon Caption Contest?
********
Like I said, I feel very good about this one.
Winners will be announced in a couple of weeks.
Stay tuned for details.
Also, feel free to suggest a caption of your own.
After all… “‘What could go wrong?’ they said.”
