My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #952

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #952 from the issue of July 21, 2025, a human couple shares drinks with a male and female crash test dummy. The male dummy speaks. My entry appears below. The drawing is by Paul Karasik.


"We always drink and drive."



I didn't exactly do a bang up job on these:

"But we don't want to steal your jobs."
"We never worry about the market crashing."

August 10, 2025 Update:  I forgot to vote. I think I would have gone for the caption from Easton.

Bob Eckstein: A Caption Contest for Weekly Humorist

Weekly Humorist is hosting a one-off cartoon caption contest on its Instagram page. The rules are few and the duration is not clear, but who follows the rules in a caption contest anyway? The cartoon is by Bob Eckstein to promote his and Michael Shaw's new book The Elements of Stress and the Pursuit of Happy-ish in this Current Sh*tstorm, a copy of which serves as the prize. My caption is shown below.

"I hope this has a huge impact."
