Synagogue in Boca Raton invites public to write caption for cartoon... Two men on a tiny deserted island

Two men on a tiny deserted island are in search of a clever cartoon caption writer.

Congregation B'nai Israel in Boca Raton is looking for a caption for this drawing by Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor of The New Yorker. Mankoff will sign his new book, "How About Never…Is Never Good For You?" at 7 p.m. Dec. 10 at the synagogue, 2200 Yamato Road.

The author will choose the winning entry, to be announced during his talk. The winner must be present to receive the prize: A signed copy of the cartoon with his or her caption and a picture with Mankoff.

In his book, Mankoff offers tips for New Yorker cartoon contest entries. He describes the cartoons as "benign humor, intended to intrigue or amuse but not to offend." He encourages contestants to relate the captions to current events and show them to friends to get feedback.
