when I first saw the cartoon I had the impression that the three men and the three women inside the sandbox would pair off and mate, I don't know what would happen to the guy sitting on the edge of the sandbox, maybe the two men with glasses have come to remove him as he is the reject. I can't think of a way to condense that into a caption though.

does it saw in the rules that the caption has to be something one of the people in the cartoon is saying or can it just be a caption? I don't remember ever seeing a finalist in the magazine that isn't a quote.
