My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #971

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #971 from the issue of December 8, 2025, a lumberjack with a chainsaw has just cut off the top of a tree. The angry tree speaks. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Rich Sparks.

"I happen to know you're not from the Sierra Club."




These captions didn't stand tall:

"You do realize I once worked for Disney."
"You're way out of your depth."
"That's how you see yourself—just a hobbyist?"






December 22, 2025 Update:  The Finalists




January 10, 2026 Update:  I voted for the caption from Comfort. I've always wanted to write that.
