One of the dogs is speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Because it looks like the oppressed have risen up against their oppressors, I first went for something political. Maybe the sheep were radicalized by something they read, and that possibility led to, <b>\u201cDamn that <\/b><b><i>Communist Manifesto<\/i><\/b><b>.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I then used the color of the sheep\u2019s wool to put a spin on a current activist movement: <b>\u201cWhite Lives Matter.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Next I combined the idea of revenge with a breeder\u2019s term for female dogs and came up with, <b>\u201cIt\u2019s payback, bitches,\u201d<\/b> a slight variation on the more common, \u201cPayback\u2019s a bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I used an old saying\u2014<b>\u201cThey\u2019re wolves in sheep\u2019s clothing\u201d\u2014<\/b>that took on a new meaning in the context of the drawing.<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s see how you did.<\/p>\n<p>The dogs look humiliated (as they should) and several captions emphasized their shame. My two favorites were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>\u201cLet\u2019s never speak of this.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>\u201cI never expected to die of embarrassment.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another caption implied that the dogs\u2019 chastened looks reflect not their true feelings but a strategy for surviving the encounter: <b>\u201cTry to look sheepish.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A lot of entries played on the word \u201cewe,\u201d and I liked these two:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>\u201cI thought ewe turns were illegal.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>\u201cF ewe.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It took me a while to get the second caption, and my delayed response reminded me of a scene from <i>The Odd Couple<\/i>\u2014the movie, not the TV show. Oscar Madison is yelling at his roommate, Felix Unger, for signing a note with just his initials, and says, \u201cIt took me three hours to figure out that FU was Felix Unger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s another decent pun that references the F word: <b>\u201cWe\u2019re flocked.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There were many references to Dolly, the ewe who was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult cell. The best such caption noted that the sheep in Borchart\u2019s drawing are atypically aggressive: <b>\u201cThey\u2019ve been cloning the surly one.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One of you implied that these sheep are fulfilling Christ\u2019s prophecy that the meek shall inherit the earth: <b>\u201cI blame it on a literal reading of the Bible.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There were a few nods to \u201cSilence of the Lambs,\u201d but the best was, <b>\u201cIt\u2019s the silence that\u2019s creeping me out.\u201d<\/b> This caption not only fits the drawing; it captures the sense of dread that the movie conveyed so effectively, and that the dogs in this cartoon might be experiencing.<\/p>\n<p>Here are two examples of a caption that connects the dogs\u2019 specific breed to a topical political issue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>\u201cNo one respects borders anymore!\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>\u201cIt\u2019s a border collie crisis.\u201d<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I prefer the second example, primarily because it does not include an exclamation point. The first caption would be much more effective without it.<\/p>\n<p>Many of you submitted captions that addressed the soporific effect of counting sheep. The best of these recognized that the dogs would be trying to protect themselves by staying awake: <b>\u201cThey\u2019re just waiting for us to nod off.\u201d<\/b> Two good variations on this joke were, <b>\u201cStop counting!\u201d<\/b> and <b>\u201cStay awake, boys.\u201d<\/b> Another variation put a clever and positive spin on the dogs\u2019 predicament: <b>\u201cAt least we\u2019ll go in our sleep.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Two other \u201ccounting sheep\u201d captions ignored the sleep angle and made fun of the dogs for their inability to keep an accurate tally of the circling sheep: <b>\u201cI\u2019ve lost count,\u201d<\/b> and <b>\u201cI\u2019ve lost count, but there are thousands of them.\u201d<\/b> Usually I\u2019d prefer the shorter version, but the longer version is the rare example of a caption that\u2019s actually improved by the additional words.<\/p>\n<p>A few of you name-checked a 1965 hit by <i>Sam the Sham &amp; The Pharaohs<\/i>. The best such entry was the shortest: <b>\u201cWooly bullies,\u201d <\/b>a caption so perfect and perfectly obvious I\u2019m kicking myself for not having thought of it.<\/p>\n<p>In another entry, the dog makes the best of a bad situation by saying, <b>\u201cOn the upside, they\u2019re not straying.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>One of you had the border collie acknowledge the inevitability of the situation, as the sheep were bound to finally realize that they outnumbered and could overpower the dogs: <b>\u201cI was afraid they\u2019d catch on someday.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In another caption, the dog tries to summon help by using an old expression that works especially well in the context of this drawing: <b>\u201cQuick, somebody cry wolf.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Finally, one of you made a clever reference to an idiom that denotes a futile attempt to control or organize something inherently uncontrollable. While grudgingly acknowledging the sheep\u2019s ability to herd dogs, the border collie casts doubt on their ability to round up a more difficult species by saying, <b>\u201cYes, but can they herd cats?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m impressed. That was a tough drawing to caption, and many of you rose to the challenge. My choice for the best out of a surprisingly strong pool is, <b>\u201cAt least we\u2019ll go in our sleep.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m nervous about the next contest, which features a drawing from my boss, but I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what you\u2019ll all do with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Borchart has drawn several angry sheep circling a few frightened herding dogs.
