Whether you’re a long-time reader or you’ve recently started perusing these articles, you’ve probably grumbled at least once…
“Hold on a second… David built a lucrative, consulting practice by layering chocolate references and obscure puns on top of illustrations my seven year-old could draw? Some of those line drawings don’t even make sense!”
Well, now’s your chance to show off your wit, charm, humor, punniness, knowledge of obscure chocolate trivia and all-around consulting awesomeness.
In what has become an annual tradition, I post an illustration while I’m on my May vacation and ask readers to pen the caption. Last year, dozens of you contributed excellent entries.
I bet this year you can do even better.

Add some text to the drawing above. What (if anything) are the characters saying? Does the illustration have a title? Maybe it’s about consulting… but then again, maybe not. Let me (and your fellow readers) know in the comments below.
Your idea doesn’t have to be the funniest. Just give it a go.
If you didn’t contribute a caption last year, definitely write something in this year’s contest. (If you did contribute in the past, please jump in again — I loved your previous entry!)

Have a nice vacation!
Huh, Corinna, we’ve entered the new world when AI is developing the captions for drawings. Good one! Thanks for contributing in this year’s caption contest.
Taking the middle ground… Priceless
Double bonus points for the excellent pun, Mark. Well done!
girl on left: Hrumph! That girl comes by here every morning pretending to be going surfing. But I think that she is merely showing off her body. I’ve never seen her get wet.
guy: She certainly has something there to show off.
Thanks for contributing a caption, Jeff.
“If you say ‘I have to think about it’ one more time, I’m taking my football and going home!”
But that’s a priceless Venn Gogh!!!
Extra points for the pun, Ken! Nice job on the caption.
Funny, Rich! Thanks for adding a caption!!
“Venn I said the value’s in the intersect, I didn’t mean it literally…”
Outstanding caption, Alan. Very clever. Thank you for joining the fun!
