Over who's New Yorker caption contest entry is funnier. Please settle this dispute by writing "left" or "right" to indicate which is the better caption.

Left

"have him for dinner" is way too colloquial and weird sounding, like standing "on" line. It ruins the joke.

Left.

Right falls into the fine tradition of cannibal NYer cartoons. But it's confusing because they're cavemen, not necessarily cannibals.

Left. It's flat out funny

This is a pretty good first cut to separate out people. Anyone choosing right clearly being inferior human beings.

yes. the right is pseudo-plagiarism (been copied so many times its pretty much in public domain), left should win by default.

but commission on what? is the suit trying to get the cavewoman to allow him to sell her paintings in exchange for commission on the sale? or is she being commissioned to paint something?
