You Can Get Published In The New Yorker By Captioning The Cartoon Seen On ‘Seinfeld’ - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

In the classic Seinfeld episode, “The Cartoon” (written by former-Six Feet Under writer/current Girls producer Bruce Eric Kaplan), Elaine submits a caption for a New Yorker cartoon, one that she later realizes she subconsciously lifted from Ziggy. (Oh, Elaine, will you ever win?) The picture shows a pig at a complaint department, and the caption reads, “I wish I were taller.” It’s better than Jerry’s “I can’t find my receipt, my place is a sty,” but nowhere near as good as Kramer’s “My wife is a slut.” Now that’s a complaint.

Now the New Yorker is giving you a chance to caption the photo yourself — if they like your entry, it’ll be published in the magazine.

OMG, that's awesome! That line that Elaine came up with was hilarious but of course Jerry's was funnier!
