Here is my entry for the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #426 for May 8, 2014. The drawing is by Liam Francis Walsh. The caption is by a Baby Boomer who can relate to the situation.
Here are some other caption ideas. My wife didn't like any of them this week, if that's any help.

May 26, 2014 Update: Winning Caption
Note: Last week's New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest was set in an office. Cartoonist P. C. Vey doesn't work in an office. Neither do I. I think you can see where this collaboration is going. The very unprofessional results for Contest #425 may be seen here.
Liam Francis Walsh has appeared on this blog in previous caption contests. His work has inspired me to write--well, my usual captions. See it all here.

"Mom won't be happy if you smash another guitar." "I was thinking more of a lute suite." "But I would never make a grown man cry." "Dad, you promised this is the last farewell tour." "Is that why you named me Layla?" |
