My Entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #505

Here is my entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #505 for January 11, 2016. The drawing is by Mick Stevens.

"Have you seen the new cat or the new dog?"

These alternate captions didn't deserve a bite:

"Why the long face?"
"Well, look who came crawling in!"
"This is a fine time to come crawling in!"
"Your habits are positively prehistoric."
"You're not home until the tail is in."
"Have you seen Fluffy?"
"Have you seen Fluffy No. 2?"

January 18, 2016 Update:  The Finalists

In the comments section, gboris notes a similarity with Contest #307 (October 24, 2011). The drawing is by Sidney Harris.

February 1, 2016 Update:  Winning Caption

Note:  Last week Tom Cheney showed us the life of a modern working woman. My caption was a little stiff. Carry home the results of Contest #504.

Mick Stevens has created some preposterously challenging caption contest cartoons. Please don't encourage him.
