How to win every cartoon caption competition ever

*Frank Chimero is a New York cartoonist and professional designer. He has just entered the New Yorker’s cartoon caption contest with an entry which works every single time*.

This genius new universal caption for the digital age is:

Hi, I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.

And it…

....just…

...absolutely...

...works.

It's the holy grail of cartoon captions.

Charles Lavoie, as The Atlantic observes, has been running a blog on the phenomenon of universal captions for years, using "Christ, What an Asshole!" for a range of New Yorker cartoons.

While "What a misunderstanding!" is also a popular universal entrant, we're most in awe of the newest addition to this noble cadre of captions. The best of luck to you, Frank.
