My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #924

In The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #924 from the issue of December 2, 2024, we see a robot couple at home in their apartment. One is reviewing the want ads; both appear dejected. My submission is shown here. The drawing is by E. S. Glenn.

"They're all looking for loyalty, not competence."




These captions did not follow Asimov's laws:

"Guess who's considered obsolete?"
"But I can't dance."
"We're being replaced by smart robots."
