My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #933

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #933 from the centennial issue of February 17 & 24, 2025, an artist in Central Park prepares to sketch a pigeon. He appears angry as he speaks. The drawing is by Avi Steinberg.

"Smile, dammit."

These captions didn't soar:

"When is one of you going to pay me?"
"Will you be the first to keep still?"
"You ALL say you'll bring me bread."
"They're ALL good likenesses."
"When do I get to spread MY wings?"
"Are you sure you have a good side?"
"Just don't crumple it up in your beak and fly away."
