“Caged Man” Caption Contest Commentary with Lawrence Wood

February 5, 2020 by Lawrence Wood

In Chris Weyant’s cartoon, two women are having tea in a living room. Behind the woman who’s speaking is a man in a large bird cage.

“Group Therapy” Caption Contest Commentary with Lawrence Wood

January 15, 2020 by Lawrence Wood

In John Klossner’s cartoon, every patient in a group therapy session is lying on their own couch and staring at the ceiling with their hands on their abdomens. The therapist is speaking. Because there are so many patients I immediately thought of multiple personality disorders. Instead of making a joke about one patient with dissociative…
