Escape from my own personal NEW YORKER CARTOON captions

Cy was a bit of a bore, and Rothko rather withholding, but that Jackson, now he had a mind, he was fascinating, if out of his gourd…

The 11th installment in the cartoon caption series (find all the others here). Still finding inspiration in the Planet of the Apes movies for my sequel titles, but now mining the original series…

This round a lot of captions rely on what some may consider arcane references. But Ed and I at least are amused…

It turns out there is a whole wide world beyond this bowl.

Just wait til you meet the rooster, dog and horse hidden beneath all this.

… Is this the little boy at play?

Ed’s parents and aunts and uncles would always sing this song at weddings, including ours… (remember what I said about arcane references?)

Don’t worry. Future generations will blame the Visigoths.

(Is it still funny if you have to google “Visigoth”?)

(Was it ever funny?)

(Oh, shut up!)

My presence won’t fool them. They can tell you’re checking for code violations.

I first tried to make a joke about the TVB – Tips Violations Bureau (in reference to the Traffic Violations Bureau), but couldn’t make it fly. Not that the above caption is exactly soaring either… ah well.
