My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #863

A stick figure sits in an office chair for The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #863 from the issue of August 28, 2023. I see this as an interview scenario and my caption is shown below. The drawing is by Mick Stevens.

"You're a difficult candidate to read."




These captions didn't have much meat on the bone:

"I'm afraid I just can't flesh you out."
"Do you think you have the stomach for this work?"
"I suppose I'll still be the face of this department."
"Your work history is a bit sketchy."
