David A. Fields Consulting Group 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.

“Howdy neighbour! Hey I hate to ask, but could I borrow a cup of Claude tokens?”
Very funny, Paul. And, as it happens, hits much too close to the mark! Well done.
“I can’t see you. Can you turn your camera on?”
“Just open the door for me! This is an in-person meeting!”
I (consultant) am here to open the door and show you the opportunities outside your core
Very clever, Vasa. Solid consulting reference–well done!
Excellent, Praveen. A classic in the new, virtual consulting world. Great entry from you.
“Who designed the narrow purple trapezoidal bathroom doors?”
“Our consultant.”
Yeah, yeah, but in the consultant’s defense, a lot of the client’s personnel came across as two-dimensional during the interviews. 😉
Great entry, Geoff.
“Here’s what you should do.”
“We won’t do that… but keep going.”
Great one, Philip. Very funny.
If I can just make it through that door everything will be different on the other side.
Exactly, Douglas! Great entry into the caption contest. 😊
