What's all the commotion in the sandbox about?

It’s Monday, time for a brand new Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest. (Cartoon after jump.) Please type 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. 13th, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, February 16th, and ending at midnight on Friday, February 20th, 2009.

There will be a new Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest starting at noon, EVERY MONDAY! Along with the new cartoon that needs a caption, you will be asked to vote on the finalists from the week before. (The winning caption will be announced for the contest that was voted on during the last week as well.)

This week’s cartoon should bring back memories for anyone out there who remembers their time in the sandbox. This little box of glorified dirt was filled with politics, drama and intrigue – OK, I’m getting a little carried away. All I ask is that you stretch your imaginations and embellish your distant childhood memories. Oh, yes, have fun and tell the world about this contest and my fantastic cartoons and sparkling commentary.

Here’s your chance to VOTE for your favorite caption – there are two contests that need your attention: last week’s “Manhole” cartoon and the “Monster Divorce” cartoon from two weeks ago. Just click the links below and leave your vote in the comment sections for each post. Thanks!

1. Vote for Manhole Cartoon Caption Contest.
2. Vote for Monster Divorce Cartoon Caption Contest.

(I apologize for any confusion that my prehistoric voting system and often arcane instructions may cause. I am working to make this as painless as possible.)

I post brand new cartoons, with my very own captions, every Wednesday at noon, and I have a new piece of fantastic commentary for you to read every Friday at noon.

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.)
