My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #965

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #965 from the issue of October 27, 2025, we are looking at a skeleton and a man watching television. The skeleton is laughing. The man, who has a bowl of popcorn in his lap, speaks. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Lars Kenseth.

"Why shouldn't I achieve my potential as an x-ray tech?"



These captions wouldn't rest in peace:

"Wait! Aren't those your fibulas?"
"It's not a crypt. It's the East Wing."
