This week's cartoon caption contest is just BEGGING for a Lost reference

I saw this week's New Yorker cartoon caption contest and thought: Doesn't this just set itself up perfectly for a Lost reference? Here's a few off the top of my head:

  1. "The last thing I remember is a flash of white."
  2. "Are you with Widmore or Linus? Nevermind, you look great, got any beer?"
  3. "Let me guess, this isn't 2004. Okay then, WHEN is this?"
  4. "I know, I know, you have a thing for Sawyer. But he's not here, is he?"
  5. "I've been trying to get back on this island for 30 years. Turns out I could just air mail myself here."
  6. "You look just like her."
  7. "I'll put suntan lotion on you in 5 minutes. I gotta finish up building this new station: The Box."
  8. "You call this a coffin?! I'm glad I'm not really dead, this thing blows."
  9. "But I have to float around the world in this box to impress your father."
  10. "What do you mean you thought Jughead is in the box? It's not here now!"

Can you think of any? Let us know! You can leave a comment here, a collection of them would be great. Or through twitter (@intothemantle). It's definitely fun to think of them.

Note: I'm planning to submit one to the New Yorker, though probably one that is a little easier for even non-fans to swallow. These here can just be for us Lost geeks :)

Tip: If you're submitting to the New Yorker, something I've found is that the winning caption is usually phrased as if it's a response to what another character has said, similar to 7, 9, and 10 above.
