"Come in and put on your pajamas--Jon Stewart is about to start!"In Anti-Caption Contest #35 (living room scene in which a man nonchalantly addresses a woman encircled by a snake) the winner is lindsay with
"Oh heck, it's up to your neck."My own submission was
"Back in the 1940s, The New Yorker published a Charles Addams cartoon in which a woman says 'Oh, speak up, George! Stop mumbling!' to a man who has been swallowed by a giant snake. More recently, in 1999, the magazine published a Frank Cothan living room scene in which a woman says 'I believe we’ve entered the dark underbelly of pet ownership.' to a man who has a snake wrapped around his neck.' But not in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that the two of us would find ourselves in a similar predicament, except that it is you, the woman, who is ensnarled by the snake and it is cartoonist Matthew Diffee who is drawing the scene as I speak!"And now The New Yorker has unveiled Contest #36. Good luck!
