Caption Contests
Manhole Cartoon Caption Contest
What the hell is going on here?
It’s Monday – again. That means its time for a new Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest. (Cartoon after jump.) Please let the creative juices flow! Write a clever caption (you are allowed two submissions) and place it in the comment section, along with a valid email address, and you could win a $10 cash prize. I will accept entries until midnight, Friday, Feb. 6th, 2009. I’ll select five final captions over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, February 9th, and ending at midnight on Friday, February 13th, 2009. (There will be a new Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest starting at noon, every Monday until I die, or obtain full-time employment – whichever comes first.)
Don’t forget to vote for the best caption in last week’s Frankenstein cartoon contest.
Time to vote for your favorite caption!
Here are the five finalists from last week’s Frankenstein divorce court caption contest:
1. “Your honor, my client contends that they were made for each other.” – Steven Benson
2. “And so, your Honor, my client deserves to have full ownership of the couple’s monster truck.” – Beverly Justice
3. “They’re clearly incompatible! He’s AC,she’s DC!” – Joseph Perozzi
4. “Pitchforks, fire, and angry mobs….Frankie this, Frankie that. Your honor, my client just wants to make a clean cut.” – Wayne Roberts
5. “She stole his heart…and wouldn’t give it back!” – Bob Eichelberg
Please cast your vote in the “What’s Your Opinion” section, located in the center column on the home page, below “Recent Marbles” and a box of useless ads. You have until midnight, Friday, February 6th, to cast your vote for the best caption. (To vote, just CLICK HERE to get back to the home page.)
(Also, NO ONE VOTED in the Giant Gun Caption Contest. Click here to cast a vote for the Gun Cartoon.
REMEMBER TO VOTE! – REMEMBER TO VOTE! – REMEMBER TO VOTE! – REMEMBER TO VOTE!!!!!!
Please note that I’ve changed the rules for the caption contest because too few people were voting (my fault because I chose to schedule voting over the weekend), and I want to give everyone two chances to come up with the best possible caption.
Are you still with me? Excellent. I post brand new cartoons, some with my very own captions, every Wednesday at noon, and I’ll have a new piece of fantastic commentary for you every Friday at noon.
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.)
