Calling all readers of my blog—
Wow! For the second time, one of my cartoon captions has been chosen as a finalist in The New Yorker magazine online weekly caption contest.
(I could just plotz.)
The voting will begin online Monday, January 27.
Please be a dear and go to: www.newyorker.com/captioncontest and vote for me, Melissa Guensler, if you would be ever so kind.
I’d really appreciate it! Thanks.
I Tried Being Tasteful... 
You Betcha!

I’m very tired tonight, but this instantly woke me up. That’s great news! I will vote for you and I’ll spread the word to members of my New Yorker-reading posse to do the same! I’ll keep my fingers, legs and eyes crossed for you. If some think I look like a freak, hey, I’m a New Yorker, I can do what I want!

I’ve never had a posse before. Do we get to wear silver stars on our vests and have chaps with fringe? (Or am I thinking about the Village People again…) Thanks, Virginia!

Thanks, Moe. Hey, listen, I understand. When the guy from The New Yorker emailed me, I told him it was an honor just to be nominated, but that I’d kill to win. And I was only half-joking. 🙂

Thanks anyway, Natalie! Yeah, I thought it was time to spruce up the place a little. You should get Louise to help you with yours—she seems to have taken over everything thing else. lol
