Caption Contests

Texting Fetus Cartoon Caption Contest

By SplendidMarbles ⋅ February 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment
The 21st century fetus might be texting you - so watch out.

The 21st century fetus might be texting you - so watch out.

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. 20th, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, February 23th, and ending at midnight on Friday, February 27th, 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.)

I had a lot of fun with this cartoon. Like all of the cartoons I use for this caption contest, I have originals that are complete with my own words of wit. But, I’m really looking forward to see what you can come up with. I think that we’re heading in this direction anyway; most children have cell phones, some have PDAs. They’re texting at ever earlier ages, and they’re becoming frequent visitors to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace. So, don’t be surprised if you see the rise of “Fetusbook” within the next few years.

Here’s your chance to VOTE for your favorite caption for last week’s Sandbox Caption Contest. Just click the links below and leave your vote in the comment sections for each post. The polls will be open all week – until midnight, Friday, Feb. 20th. Thanks!

CLICK HERE TO VOTE for last week’s winning caption in the Sandbox caption contest.

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.)
