, Not quite, but the film critic has just been named the winner of this week’s New Yorker caption contest cartoon.
The drawing shows a man and a woman lost in the desert – clearly looking for the place they parked their car – as the sign marked “F.” The caption reads: “I will not say the word I think.”
Two years ago, Ebert said in his blog that he had participated in the contest almost every week almost since the beginning. ”
“Not that I think my captions cartoons are better than anyone else, although a few weeks, and understandably so, I do,” he writes. “Only when I want to see one of my crazy stories in the magazine that publishes the best cartoons in the world. Is that asking too much? ”
The New Yorker said Ebert actually entered 107 times in 280 contests total, putting it in 569th place on 502 416 participants. The magazine launched the caption competition five years ago.
