My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #834

This week, I sank my teeth into The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #834 from the issue of January 16, 2022. My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Brian Hawes and Seth Roberts.

"You look like a couple of empty nesters."

These captions just wouldn't fly:

"Don't try this without the napkin."
"I'm trying to branch out."

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #793

This week, I found that working on The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #793 from the issue of March 7, 2022 was a lot like swimming upstream. My entry is shown below. The drawing is by Brian Hawes and Seth Roberts.

"You don't think I'm going to spoil the cat?"

These captions didn't check out:

"Don't bother to wrap it. I'll eat it here."
"Just toss it at my mouth."
"Tell me, where did you find it?"
