My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #860

Life's a beach in The New Yorker  Cartoon Caption Contest #860 from the issue of August 7, 2023. My caption is shown below. The drawing is by Ed Himelblau.

"At least we scavenge with moderation."





These captions spent a little too much time in the sun:

"Oh, yeah. Can I get you anything?"
"There goes the neighborhood."
"That's why I like you. You're a bird with class."
"Are these jokers any relation to you?"
"I used to be like that until I saw 'Ratatouille.'"
"I knew we sat too close to the food."
"Promise me we'll never be like that."

The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #91

The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #91 comes with its own helpful explanation: "This week’s cartoon of a man amongst his trash heap comes from Kendra Allenby." Amongst? Trash heap is singular. Why not amidst? Anyway, no more trash talking. My three entries follow.
"His profile said he was a collector."
"I thought trash collector was his occupation."

"Apparently, I'm the only thing he can do without."

The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #83

It's garbage day in the Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #83. My entries are shown here. The drawing is by Benjamin Schwartz.
"It's none of my business, but they removed the incinerator ages ago."
"Doesn't your wife usually throw away the garbage?"
"Our annoying neighbor in 5 has been unusually quiet."
"Doesn't anyone these days know how to double-bag?"
"Are you going to hog the whole compactor chute again?"
"What I said was you could knock off AT 5."
