Cartoon Caption Contests

New Year’s Cartoon Caption Contest (Plus last week’s winner)

Where are you headed this New Year's Eve?

Where are you headed this New Year's Eve?

This is my version of a New Year’s cartoon. It’s almost perfect – if crudeness is the benchmark – but it desperately needs a caption. Please dig deep in the creative recesses of your mind and 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 on Thursday, January 1st, 2009. I will then select five finalists, which will be voted on starting Friday morning, and ending at midnight on Sunday, January 4th, 2009. I will announce the winner at noon on Monday, January 5th. (Please submit only one caption.)

New Year’s Eve is fast approaching, and my plans for the grandest night of alcohol-fueled idiocy are still not fully formed. This is probably due to the fact that most bars and restaurants become packed to the rafters with loud people who cannot handle their booze. Due to this unfortunate reality, I usually ring in the New Year with a small group of friends – they can consume alcohol AND continue to form coherent sentences.

Now, a little explanation about this cartoon; it is actually the result of spending two decades in the New York area. During that time I’ve seen the standards that nightclubs are supposed to live up to tumble into the local sewers. It seems that all one needs to open a club, as opposed to a conventional bar, is a sign and the nerve to charge a stiff cover. But there seems to be no shortage of people – usually men in their twenties and thirties – willing to pay ridiculous cover charges for the “privilege” of coughing up $15 for watered-down drinks in dark and crowded caves populated mainly by other men doing just the same.

So, please have at it! I’ve been extremely impressed – and a little envious, I might add – of many of the submissions to date. I will have a new contest for you to participate in next Monday as well. Have a Happy New Year, and please enjoy it with friends and family.

Before I finish typing: the winner of last week’s Splendid Marbles Holiday Cartoon Caption Contest is Brett. Congratulations! (I’ll send you an email shortly.) The cartoon with the winning caption is posted below.
