My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #909

Would you like some fries with The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #909 from the issue of August 19, 2024? My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Benjamin Schwartz.

"Better make it a double. I've been supersized."


I believe the good doctor has hidden a private message in the cartoon. It's a little scratchy but I think it says Nina.

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #886

Life's a beach for some of us, as we see in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #886 from the issue of February 26, 2024. My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Liza Donnelly.

"Get your own damn ketchup."



Here are four variations on a theme, and I rejected all of them in favor of a condiment:

"Why can't my life also be a beach?"
"Why does only your life get to be a beach?"
"How come only you get to live your best life?"
"And what if I want to live my best life?"
