My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #791

This week I had to sleep in the doghouse while puzzling over The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #791 from the issue of February 14 & 21, 2022. My entry is shown below. The drawing is by Lonnie Millsap.


"It kind of grows on you."





With these captions I tried a little too doggedly:


"You'll grow into it."
"Come in. There's plenty of room."
"Sure it costs more, but we got a great deal on the mortgage."
"Wait till you see the finished attic."
"Next time, bring your stilts."
"There's no excuse for slouching."
