The Caption Contest is BACK!

A new challenge awaits.

Happy Sunday! After a nearly month-long break, the Chortle caption contest is back in action. (I decided to pull this back to a monthly feature for now, in order to avoid diminishing returns.)

Onto this week’s cartoon—and last month’s winner!

THIS WEEK’S CONTEST

As a reminder, here’s how it works: the following cartoon is an aging comic pulled from public domain archives and in desperate need of a new caption. Leave your funniest submission(s) in the comments—next time out, I’ll award one winner a free month of Chortle’s paid subscription tier.

This week’s comic comes from the March 3rd, 1928 edition of The New Yorker.

Submit your caption in the comments!

LAST MONTH’S WINNER

I’m sure you’ve all been waiting on pins and needles for the judging panel to finally declare a victor. Here’s last month’s cartoon, as well as the grand reveal of its original caption.

One of our Clubs on the Avenue Arranges Its Spring Window Display.

Not very punchy, but I think it’s a solid idea! I appreciate the Second Punic War detail more than the actual caption.

Luckily, our friend Ryan Harer of Mostly Full came up with something better:

"If it's your first time dining with us, we do things a little differently here."

Congrats Ryan! Enjoy your free month of Chortle!
