Illustrations Staff and Opinion Staff • February 6, 2024

In this collaboration, the illustrations section created a unique cartoon with no caption. The opinion staff was then tasked with coming up with creative captions for the cartoon. Here our the top three favorite caption picks.

“Planted chicken seed instead of chicken feed.”

“How do you feel now vegans?”

“Well technically they’re free range…”
