Cartoon Caption Contests

Sasquatch Family Cartoon Caption Contest

Mrs. Sasquatch has something on her mind.

Mrs. Sasquatch has something on her mind.

It’s Monday, time for a brand new Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest. (Cartoon after jump.) Please type a witty 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 20th, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, March 23rd, 2009.

Please take the time to vote on last week’s “Satan on the Couch” caption contest and break the tie in the “Man in a Bottle” contest that preceded it. They are all posted below; just click and vote for your favorite caption under each cartoon. (You can also see the winner in the “Gorillas in Space” caption contest toward the bottom of the page.)

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.)

Just so you know, my fiancee and I take the selection of finalists very seriously – way too seriously. We try to selections both pass the humor and relevancy test. The first is completely subjective, and is consequently the source of many a domestic dispute. The second criteria, relevance, is a bit easier to judge, and therefore causes less trouble on the home front. (By the way, we love captions that are “way the hell out there,” but they should still be at least tenuously tethered to the cartoon in question.)

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.)
