The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #938 appeared in the issue of March 31, 2025. A woman in business attire enters a boardroom full of dogs. The woman speaks. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Liza Donnelly.

| "Who told you all to sit?" |
These just wouldn't obey:
|
| "Let's adjourn to the park." "I need a volunteer to fetch the bylaws." |

| "The first quarter outlook should have us all feeling mushy." |
These captions couldn't follow the recipe:
|
| "I'm afraid we need to expand the pie." "Next year, our health care will be capitated." "Are you all wearing Old Spice?" |

November 14, 2022 Update: I voted for the caption from Ottawa. But the one I really like is Bob Eckstein's own caption: “I’m afraid there will be more cuts.”

Moment magazine's Cartoon Caption Contest for Spring 2021 takes us to a board meeting in heaven. Angels are seated around the table. God is the speaker. Unlimited entries are permitted here, but I held the line at eleven, not wishing to put too many words into the Lord's mouth. The drawing is by Benjamin Schwarz.

| "There's been some grumbling that the board has too many dead white men." "All right, who's got My halo?" "Say, what if this year we turned a little profit?" "I see. Does anyone wish to second the motion to dispense with the reading of the Commandments?" "Everyone else in the cloud is making a bundle." "The readers of Moment are having a good laugh at our expense." "Then it's agreed: no graven images except for cartoons." "This is not the place to exercise your free will." "How is it that Satan gets all the best lawyers?" "If you're all so good, why is half our mail addressed to someone named Clarence?" "But why aren't we on the cover of Moment?" |
