Reverse Caption Contest

By Shady Dealer Staff
April 20, 2018

Here at the Shady Dealer, we have concrete and irrefutable evidence that the New Yorker is a high minded and low brow rag for coastal elites. However, we also have to respect the power of dry wit and chuckle-worthy cartoons generated through audience participation. Thus, we are introducing a new Shady Dealer Cartoon Captioning Contest wherein you, our clever little readers, get to submit cartoons for the hilarious and sardonic captions generated by our craftiest writers. This format has nothing to do with the departure of our staff’s only illustrator and everything to do with the New Yorker’s legal team breathing down our neck. So, prove us right and send your best cartoons including one of the captions provided below to [email protected]

– “When I said put your back into it, this is not what I had in mind.”

– “I guess you really are what you eat.”

– “At that moment, he realized that God really was dead.”

– “What do you not understand about ‘No Flash Photography?’’’

– “This has to be some violation of Terms and Services, right?”

– “Well, you did sign the waiver…”

– “It says right here, violators will be towed.”

– “Overall, I think this was a good idea, although it could probably use less ‘you.’”

– “Diane, your enthusiasm has been noted.”

– “We did a lot–maybe even too much–means testing, and it still didn’t work”

– “Shave his head and there you have it, bald Ted Cruz.”

– “Hapless, just hapless, and lacking anything appropriate or suitable for children.”

– “If this gets any worse, we’ll have to move the office further inland.”

– “It’s Sunday afternoon, my pals.”
