Mobbed Up

The winners of The New Yorker "Cartoon Contest #177" must have had paid somebody off.



I thought my entry was pretty good:

"No buttinsky customs agent is gonna nail ME on a metric system rap. "

The finalists had all the appeal of The Godfather III (in other words, they sucked):

• "It's sloppy work like that that gives the mob a bad name." - mediocre
  
  
• "We are trying to reduce our concrete footprint." - lame
  
  
• "Two weeks ago, this was not considered torture." - fogetaboutit
