Looks like I picked the wrong week to start judging the anti-caption contest in a more timely fashion. Sorry about that, but the results are up now in case you still care.

To make it up to you, I'm offering another excellent prize to the winner of next week's contest: a copy of the new semi-authorized Hugh Hefner biography Mr. Playboy — the book that shows "how Hefner's sexual and material ethic of self-fulfillment drove him to challenge the social conventions of postwar America," and that has an honest-to-god centerfold.

This strikes me as a good fit for a prize, since Playboy and New Yorker cartoons feature roughly the same number of black people.
