My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #926

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #926 from the issue of December 16, 2024, we visit a standup comedy club. A tomato is onstage at the microphone while a broccoli stalk and a carrot are seated up front. The carrot speaks. The drawing is by Elisabeth McNair.

"We're leaving at the first bent carrot joke."

These captions were not USDA approved:

"I thought his humor would be too raw."
"I might enjoy this if I were stewed."
"He's funny, but there isn't any meat there."
"Let's throw some nightshade."
"He's looking at us. Don't turn red."

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #783

You were expecting maybe my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #783? I took the week off, or, to be strictly accurate, I fell asleep Sunday night as the contest passed its deadline. This is what usually happens when I fail to enter the contest, but I don't think inspiration would have struck no matter how wide awake I had been. The drawing is by Lonnie Millsap.
