Cartoon Caption Contests

Flying Cavemen Cartoon Caption Contest

What seems to be the problem here?

What seems to be the problem here?

Oh my God – it’s Monday again! But, do not despair because it’s 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, April 24th, 2009. I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, April 27th, 2009.

This cartoon was created with the nightmare that air travel has become in mind. I’ve heard of so many horror stories occurring at 35,000 feet that I just had to respond with a cartoon – my weapon of choice. Ever since air travel became cheap and available to the masses, which, by the way, coincided with a severe deterioration in civil behavior, stories of bizarre, rude and in some cases criminal conduct started to become much more common. I don’t know what this caveman did to upset the flight attendant and terrify the poor man sitting next to him. Maybe he didn’t do a thing, and it’s just another case of a collision of cultures that causes reactions born of misunderstandings as opposed to ones resulting from actual offenses. Enough of my ramblings, just have fun!

Here’s your chance to vote on last week’s finalists:
