Whether you’re a long-time reader or you’ve recently started perusing these articles, you’ve probably grumbled at least once…

“How can someone who combines lackluster drawing skills with groanworthy puns build such a successful consulting practice? Sheesh, that illustration doesn’t even help!”

Well, now’s your chance to show off your wit, charm, humor, punniness, knowledge of obscure chocolate trivia and all-around consulting awesomeness.

Every year, while I frolic on my spring vacation, I post an illustration and ask you (and other readers) to pen the caption.

I bet this year while I’m gasping in the Andes mountains, you can deliver a respectable entry.

Add some text to the drawing below. 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.

If you didn’t contribute a caption last year, definitely write something in this year’s contest. It doesn’t have to be the funniest. Just give it a go.
