In honor of the Centennial, CCT asked four artistic alums to take inspiration from the Core and provide a cartoon in need of your caption — one for each of the four issues this academic year..

This third installment is by illustrator Dr. Benjamin Schwartz CC’03, P&S’08, cartoonist for The New Yorker and chief creative officer for the Department of Surgery at the Medical Center. Enjoy the winning caption, submitted by Patrick Rapp CC’66, plus a few of our favorite entries, below!
