Cartoon Caption Contests
Birdman Cartoon Caption Contest
The suburbs are often home to stange birds.
Is it Monday again? Well, sorry about that; I’ve been leading a campaign to abolish this horrible day from the week. But, while I’m working on that, you can dig up a clever caption for the latest 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, April 3rd, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, April 6th, 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.)
Now, a few words about this cartoon: I live in a densely populated urban area. It features a whole host of subcultures and is therefore full of variety; I’m never shocked at what I see on the streets, or in the shops and pubs. The suburbs, however, seem to promote continuity and conformity. But, having been raised in a rather pleasant, but unremarkable suburb of New York City, I know that picket fences and well-groomed shrubs often mask the oddness that lurks within the ordinary looking homes that they surround. Please have fun with this cartoon. If you think it needs a title, add one; if you have a statement to make, I encourage you to make it. (There are no rules – all I ask is that you save profane comments for the highway.)
Your second duty is to cast a vote for your favorite caption. Please pick your favorite caption for last week’s “Jesus Speeds” caption contest. The polls will be open all week – until midnight, Friday, April 3rd.
Time to vote for your favorite caption.

Winning caption from Rissa.
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.)

This isnt an entry, rather an annoyed fan who thinks you should check up on your captions. The Hawkman entry makes NO SENSE as Hawkman has NEVER been in the legion of superheroes which is a group of heroes from 1000 years in Hawkman’s future. Hawkman has only been on the Justice League and the Justice Society…do a little homework BEFORE you put these in the FINALS! I wont waste my time contributing here anymore knowing how ignorant the judges are. Weak.
