They should have kept the pool covered.
I hope you’re ready to let loose your boundless creativity today. I’ve got a new cartoon that is in dire need of a clever caption.
This is the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest, and the rules are pretty simple.
- Type a clever caption and place it in the comments section, along with a valid email address, and you could win a high resolution (600 dpi) image of the cartoon with your caption and name attached.

- I will accept entries until midnight, Friday, June 26th, 2009.
- I’ll select five finalists over the weekend, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, June 29nd, 2009.
- That’s it!
You can vote for your favorite caption from last week’s Banana Blender Caption Contest.
