when I first saw the cartoon I had the impression that the three men and the three women inside the sandbox would pair off and mate, I don't know what would happen to the guy sitting on the edge of the sandbox, maybe the two men with glasses have come to remove him as he is the reject. I can't think of a way to condense that into a caption though.

elegant eyes, aristocrat face, gorgeous hair (soref), Thursday, 5 December 2013 15:51 (ten years ago) link

does it saw in the rules that the caption has to be something one of the people in the cartoon is saying or can it just be a caption? I don't remember ever seeing a finalist in the magazine that isn't a quote.

elegant eyes, aristocrat face, gorgeous hair (soref), Thursday, 5 December 2013 15:52 (ten years ago) link

I guess one of the men with glasses could be saying "the three men and the three women inside the sandbox are going to pair off and mate, we've come to remove you as you are the reject"

Mark G, Thursday, 5 December 2013 15:54 (ten years ago) link

Try starting by condensing the thought into a shorter post imo
