Cartoon Caption Contests
“Man in Bottle” Cartoon Caption Contest
Was this decision mutual?
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, March 6th, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, March 9th, and ending at midnight on Friday, March 13th, 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.)
What can I say about this one? It is not the work of a man who is well, however far one stretches that definition. My fiancé just looked at me, shook her head in a disapproving fashion, and said, “that is just wrong.” To me, that is the most sincere form of flattery. I hope that you have a lot of fun with this one – I could barely contain myself while adding the finishing touches last night.
Here’s your chance to VOTE for your favorite caption for last week’s “Gorillas in Space” Caption Contest. Just select your favorite caption from the five listed below the cartoon. The polls will be open all week – until midnight, Friday, March 6th. Thanks!
Time to vote for your favorite caption!
Here are the final five captions that need your vote:
Loading ...By the way, selecting five finalists is no easy task. Here’s a note from my fiancee (who labors over the weekend while denied food, water and visitors to help select the best captions):
“You should know that your editorial board will soon go on strike. We’re holding out for better working conditions, higher pay, and greater influence over the market. So there. Accede to our demands or suffer the consequences, you capitalist running dog.”
And here is last week’s cartoon with the winning caption:
The winning caption from Renee.
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.
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.)
