The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #101

I've got nothing to say about the Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #101 that my dummy can't say for me. My captions are below. The drawing is by Robert Leighton.

"I feel you're not cut out for this business, and so does Jerry."
"But you simply CAN'T downsize the dummy."
"You skipped chapter one, didn't you?"
"At some point we all need to commit."
"You're talking out of both sides of your mouth."

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #616

Gather round the water cooler for my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #616 for May 14, 2018. The drawing is by P. C. Vey.

"First do me a favor and check where
Ned has his hand."

These caption did not speak in their own voice:

"I'm downsizing everyone!"
"If you can't make out the words, just read my lips."

May 28, 2018 Update:  I voted for the second caption.


June 11, 2018 Update:  Winning Caption

Note:  Last week, cartoonist Drew Dernavich took us fishing. Somehow my caption was left hanging from a chandelier. Reel in Contest #615.

Word around the office is that P. C. Vey is no dummy.
