It’s that time of year again, and I really need your help.

This is the fifth anniversary of our caption contest, and with your help, it can be the best, most funnest, highest-engagement shenanigans event ever.

Here’s the drill…

Remarkably, I’ve managed to build a successful consulting firm on a foundation of chocolate references, obscure puns and a five year-old’s level of artistic ability.

You’re much smarter and wittier.

Plus, you’re here, whereas I’m on the west coast of Sicily today where I could inadvertently provoke the Cosa Nostra by penning an ill-advised caption.????

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

Below is an illustration in need of your clever (or not so clever) caption.

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.*

All entries into the “contest” are good.

Plus, I’ll definitely respond to your entry once I return to Connecticut.
