It therefore had two strikingly disparate frames of reference\u2014downsizing at the workplace, and the wizard\u2019s magical powers\u2014and the winning caption (<strong>\u201cI\u2019m a victim of outsorcery\u201d<\/strong>) cleverly addressed both.<\/p>\n<p>This week\u2019s contest features another drawing by Kenseth, but it poses a more daunting challenge because it\u2019s not that strange.\u00a0Two sheepherders are driving a flock of sheep from one destination to another as if they\u2019re cattle. That\u2019s odd, but not as bizarre as, say, Godzilla crashing a wedding, to cite just one recent example from this contest. The truly bizarre cartoons\u2014the ones that require you to reconcile truly disparate frames of reference\u2014provide a structure, a set of very narrow and strict parameters, and working within these parameters is easier than working without them. That\u2019s my excuse for coming up with only three captions for Kenseth\u2019s drawing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cStop counting them.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cA dog could do this job.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cEasier than cats.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is where I would typically dive into your entries, but this week we\u2019re starting a new feature: revealing the cartoonist\u2019s initial caption idea(s). Kenseth had two:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>\u201cNormally I herd cattle. This is just my side rustle.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cSo, how come they sent you down to the minors?&#8221;<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Now let\u2019s see how you did:<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, there were a lot of entries about the soporific effect of counting sheep. Here are the top eighteen, from longest to shortest:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cWe\u2019d be there already if we didn\u2019t keep falling asleep.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cThe toughest part of this job is staying awake.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cSee if you can make it past twenty his time.\u201d <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cDo you know of another cure for insomnia?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cYou count for a while, I\u2019m getting sleepy.\u201d <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cWhat do you do when you can\u2019t sleep?\u201d <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cJust don\u2019t start counting \u2018em, kid.\u201d <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI have no problem falling asleep.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cAre you still awake back there?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI lost count.

It can be smart and hilarious\u2014e.g., \u201cIt\u2019s Garry Shandling\u2019s Show\u201d\u2014or lazy and ineffective. This week there were several strong entries that alluded to the fact that Lars Kenseth\u2019s human characters don\u2019t have necks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cAre you still there? I can\u2019t turn my head without a neck.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cDon\u2019t know about you, but I envy their necks.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cSee. I told you Lars Kenseth could draw necks.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of you assumed a sheepherder (who, like the characters in Kenseth\u2019s drawing, rides a horse and drives flocks of sheep from one destination to another) would take offense at being confused with someone who merely tends a flock: <strong>\u201cSomeone called me a shepherd once. Once.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The next entry also assumes the sheepherder is a little insecure and defensive about his work: <strong>\u201cI tell my girlfriend I\u2019m herding cattle.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the best political entry: <strong>\u201cAnother Trump rally.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s the best bestiality joke: <strong>\u201cI\u2019ve seen you with the sheep. You ride in front.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These entries assume the sheepherders are planning on using the animals for more than wool:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cDo we have enough mint jelly?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI like mine skewered.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cI could go for a gyro.\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Two of you assumed the sheepherders were not actually in control of the flock:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u201cAre we just going to go along with them?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>\u201cWhere are they taking us?\u201d<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of you made the sheepherder an annoying travel companion: <strong>\u201cI spy something white.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And, finally, one of you highlighted a potential benefit of herding sheep instead of cattle: <strong>\u201cI just love when they brush up against you.\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I like all these entries, but the one I like best is, <strong>\u201cI lost count.
