Holiday Cartoon Caption Contest

Santa flies over rows of foreclosed homes on Christmas Eve

This warped little holiday cartoon needs a saucy caption. Please submit one in the comment section, along with a valid email address, and you could win a $10 cash prize. (Image after jump.) I will be accepting entries until midnight, Dec. 25th (I’ll bet you’ll be itching to get away from the family for a few minutes on Christmas Day). I will select three finalists, which will be voted on starting Friday morning, and ending at midnight on Sunday, Dec. 28th. I will announce the winner at noon on Monday, Dec. 29th, and I’ll have a new contest to test your creativity. (Please submit only one caption.)

As for this cartoon, yes, Santa is cracking a whip to get those reindeer to fly right. And please, let me say a few words about good old Saint Nick. Do you think all those elves spend their lives at the North Pole because they just love making toys, while wearing humiliating green tights and silly shoes with the toes curled up? Come on, he enslaves these poor elves to toil in his freezing factory to make ceramic dolls and wooden boats all year round (remember, Santa runs a union-free shop). Has anyone really looked into this guy? (Maybe we can send Geraldo Rivera up there to see what’s really happening in this icy, toy-making gulag.)

Now, about Santa flying over a neighborhood littered with foreclosure signs in his sleigh full of gifts made by his captive army of elves. What would Santa say about all of this? This is your job. I think that you are up to the task. Have fun!

I will have a new contest for you to participate in next Monday as well. I hope that it will be another cartoon caption contest, but that depends on how much holiday damage I inflict upon myself this week. But, I promise, there will be another contest for you come noon Monday, Dec. 29th.

sign up for my feed!While you’re here, sign up for my feed so you can get some of the best in original political cartoons and commentary.

And, check out more cartoons and the winners of the caption contest in the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Gallery.

Please note: I will send out an email on Mondays to remind you about the contest. I will NOT pester you at any other time during the week, and I will NOT share your email with another living soul – or organization run by the living. AND, I will take you off of the list as soon as you request to be removed – just send a reply email with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject line. Thank you, and have fun with this week’s cartoon. (Please be advised: I reserve the right to remove comments that contain foul language.)

  6. Donner, this is exactly why my elves are forced to work for free. There’s no way I’d mortgage the North Pole to Robber Barons just to make other people’s lives a bit better.
