My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #951

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #951 from the issue of July 7 & 14, 2025, two demons in hell observe a despondent man on a sofa sleepily extending his arm holding a TV remote. The demon who is not holding a pitchfork speaks. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Akeem Roberts.

"It only plays 'Fire Country.'"



This caption just wasn't cool:

"Don't tell him I swiped the batteries."
