A new Celtics center? Warrentless tree sapping? Captions sprouted mightily for our Jack-and-the-Beanstalk (and the Arboretum) cartoon contest last week, but we went with a Whole Foods-style critique by Andy Duymovic from the Back Bay. For his trouble, Duymovic, who manages the Holiday Inn on Beacon Hill, snags a copy of illustrator Peter Wallace's "Cartoon Boston,'' a satiric take on our town. To see the runners-up (including a poem!) and to play this week's contest, go to www.boston.com/toons. Fe-fi-fo-fum! Who's got a cartoon caption done?
