"City Hall Gothic?'' You betcha! Dan Anderson feasted off illustrator Peter Wallace's take on Grant Wood's American masterpiece -- working in the T and a pitchfork in winning last week's cartoon-caption contest. Inspiration was easy, the Medford man said in an email: the memory of the strange people he'd see on the train headed downtown. For his trouble, he wins a copy of Wallace's "Cartoon Boston,'' a satiric take on our town. Go to boston.com/toons to play this week's contest and to see runners-up - and their mentions of pigs, hungover college students and the 1960s TV series "Green Acres.'' Good luck!

Next time we get on the T, we're bringing the BIG pitchfork!

If they take down city hall we could plant some Boston baked beans to help with the gas crisis.
Tom Droz, Auburndale The mayor's new publicity campaign, "Boston, the Iowa of the East", is going to be a really hard sell. Peter Umans, Lexington It's certainly not American Gothic. It's more like Modern Urban Ugly. Richard T. Harrity, Hudson PA, I like Boston, but our barn looks nicer than that top heavy cement thing. They didn't even paint it. Larry, S. Harwich Our pigs will get along just fine in there. gk, Boston |

Don't get upset dear, it's just the accent. I think he said, "Get the fork out of here."
Craig Carter, Jamaica Plain I told you the Mayor said he wanted more "cops" on the street but no, you insisted he said "crops." Barry Brodsky, Swampscott The only green ache-rs I see, are those hung over college kids! Neil Duffy, Brighton You had a windmill on the farm, so what is wrong with one here? Ed Kotzen, N. Salem You said you heard Goth was "in" in Boston, but that must have came and went real fast. Mary Wolchan, Yorktown Heights, New York |
