So, like last time, you can put your caption here as a comment. But better yet is to click on the picture, go to the New Yorker magazine website, and enter your caption in their contest.
“A toll. Atoll. A-toll. A toll. Atoll. Hmpf. Fire my travel agent.”
if you don’t know, an “atoll” is… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atoll

Meanwhile, get on with your creative bad self and come up with a caption. You can’t win if you don’t enter.
For the second picture: “And the race is still on! That horse strike won’t keep these jockeys down.”
First: “A tsunami, Jack? Next time they say, ‘crazy stuff happens on toll roads’, I’ll believe them”
Not spectacular, but it was fun trying.

Let’s see the neighbors dog take a crap on our lawn now.

Okay, I admit it …I had to look up the meaning of Atoll….then I busted out laughing!
we’re never too old to learn something.
i really suck at these lol
“All we have to do is come up with fifty lousy cents for the ferry ride. But entrepreneurial options are very limited in this island, and our prospects don’t seem to be changing.”
i love when dialogue does not match the character. thanks!
I confess I had to look up Atoll also. That is pretty funny!
“I told you Traffic Island was not a place for tourist.”
Very fun!
I know…I know…I should have left the ticket in the car!
i always say that when i go to pay parking lots.
And this is what happens when you lose your ID card.
for the first cartoon
“He said it was a gated community that we could afford….”
For the second
“It’s a PETA trifecta…”
I enjoy this. I always enter but never get a chance to see my lines in print. Ha!

when you enter, your lines appear beneath the cartoon right then. and i think it’s there if you log in again.
In the New Yorker? Yes, we all have a moment’s notoriety when we see our captions entered.
I thought you meant that in your blog that it gets added to the next caption just above (or below) the last one.
Wishful thinking.

wishful thinking beats no thinking i guess.
“Global warming’s certainly taking its toll.”
I wish I’d have thought of a global warming angle. Thanks!
