Dang, I haven't done one of these in a long time. This week's New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest toon is here.
Take a look at the toon, and if you feel compelled, post your caption idea as a comment. I'll be submitting the best one I can come up with, and I encourage you to submit yours too. I'd love to see a RtN regular make the final three.
"Well, you're certainly a well-rounded candidate."
ReplyDelete"So, do you have any experience in childrens' book publishing?"
ReplyDelete"Sorry, but we're looking for someone who's a little more three-dimensional."
ReplyDelete"Congratulations, Mr. Johnson, you just bought your first stick-home."
ReplyDeleteGood ones, Sleek. I like the stick-house one best. I had a tough time with this cartoon, but...

ReplyDeleteThe year is 2056.....
ReplyDeleteOK, this is pretty far inside. So inside that I am the only one who gets it. But trust me, I am laughing my ass off. This is funny.
"First and foremost, we're looking for someone with an infectiously good attitude."
ReplyDeleteHow many times do I need say this! We're looking for someone who can stick it to the man, not a stick man!
ReplyDeleteWell Ms. Ritchie it's good to see you've dropped all that nasty baby weight.
ReplyDeleteThere's some funny stuff here -- let me know if anyone submits it. (Welcome back, purplesimon!)
ReplyDeleteKeith, I like how you challenged the assumption that the stick character is a man.
Oh, and Rob -- I guess I kind of horked your joke with my last one.
ReplyDeleteAs far as HR is concerned you have the job; the final hoop is our on staff phrenologist. I had forgotten about this, thanks I have been out of the loop, this was what I submitted,no matter how good or bad it is I have a better chance of winning by entering, I think...JW
ReplyDelete"This is quite an impressive reseme, Jerad. So, how long have you been employed with Subway?"
ReplyDeleteI didn't end up submitting any of my entries -- I just didn't feel like I had a winner. I'll do a new post for this week's toon shortly, though, because I think I have a good one for it.
