Go For Broke

I found the New Yorker's "Cartoon Capture Contest" #173 winners to be mostly bankrupt of any humor.



I'm partial, but I liked my entry better than any of the finalists. It was on target, but not TOO obvious:

"What color was Fred's parachute."

The "winners" were as subtle as getting hit on the head with a safe.

• "Who would have thought they'd actually give money to a bank!" - that's funny??
  
  
• "At the next bailout, let's also ask for a pony." - ha ha ha (fake laughing)
  
  
• "Did you send your thank-you card to Congress?" - they've GOT to be picking them out of a hat
