My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #898

A man appears to melt into the sidewalk in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #898 from the issue of May 27, 2024. My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Johnny DiNapoli.

"In this heat, you can fry a lot more than an egg."

These captions didn't sink in:

"Just don't put this on Instagram."
"Quick, throw me your tie."
"Quick, throw me a straight line."
"'Oh, what a world' doesn't seem adequate."
