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 is more of a smart political cartoon. Right is just plain funny. I'd go with right.

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.
