Cartoon Caption Contests
Funeral Theater Caption Contest
O'Sullivan's is now available for children's parties.
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 win a signed copy of the cartoon, with your caption and name attached (and you’ll be added to the Splendid Marbles gallery of caption contest winners.) (Check out all the winners of the caption contest.)
- You are allowed FIVE submissions.
- I will accept entries until midnight, Sunday, September 27th, 2009.
- I’ll select five finalists, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, September 28th, 2009.
- That’s it!
I originally posted this cartoon in May with my own fairly lame caption. This warped little cartoon attracted some decent feedback, so I decided to post it today to see if it could inspire some truly twisted captions. Please, enjoy.
You can vote on last week’s “Van Trouble” caption contest:
Loading ...This was another really difficult contest, it was even a battle to narrow it down to a top twenty list. That’s why I went with seven finalists as opposed to only five. I want to thank you all for giving me a massive headache today. (The winner of the “High Heeled House” contest is located below.)
Nice work, Jerry Davis!
And, check out more cartoons and the winners of the caption contest in the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Gallery.
While you’re here, sign up for my feed so you can get some of the best in original political cartoons and commentary.
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.)

After 2 beers Rick just had to lay down.
The grateful Dead have found their Niche Market
Father O’Sullivan prayed that people would notice the off center signs before they realized that Johnny was screaming “I Am the Anti-Christ.”
“Thank you, thank you … for our next number the widow requested ACDS’s ‘Highway to Hell.’”
“woooo, WOOOOOOO! How’s everybody doing? ALRIGHT!!!! I can’t feel my face!”
“mm hmmm lalalala …. This poor old guy he went and died, but exactly how we don’t know. He’s got a pretty wife and I just might try to take her home.”
“I’m sorry. This is not working out. Your music can wake the dead.”
That priest is a tough opening act.
Where the tiramisu is “to die for”!
We are turly the best at Death Metal Guitar…
If the dead could talk, they would say. “enough already, close the caskett!!”
Please hold down the applause out of respect for the dead guy.
Reverand O’Sullivan had differnet expectations when he went 50/50 with “Cinderella”.
Our lager, Which art in barrels, Hallowed by thy drink, Thy will be drunk, At home as it is in the pub. Give us this day our foamy head, And forgive us our spillages, As we forgive those who spill against us And lead us not into incarceration, But deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter, the lager..
BAR MEN
“When we toss the dearly departed into the Mosh Pit, please do not drop him.”
Next week, the Cemetary!
We love you Dark Continent! Good night!

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound…
The rich Widow Jones thought it appropriate to have “Poison” perform at her late husbands funeral.
The priest was very disappointed when the boy band cancelled

I hope they’ll be little boys here.
Bringing death metal to a whole new level
Having sung in the choir since he was a boy, O’Sullivan could still belt out those high notes.
Father O’Sulliven was beyond angry when he discovered that they had misspelled his last name on the banner.
“And now, our dead lead singer’s top hit, ‘Party Til You Puke All Over The #*@X!#@ Crib’”
Lynyrd Skynyrd, taking an Irish wake to a whole new level. R.I.P. Billy…
The GREATFUL DEAD knocks ‘em DEAD.
Father O’Sulliven thought the death metal version of “Stairway to Heaven” at the O’brien wake was a little disrespectful.
Everyone please stand and join us in our next song, Kumbaya!
TALK ABOUT A DEAD HOUSE!!
I wish the receptionist would stop double booking us.
Well Margie, I think this is the funnest funeral I have ever been to, pass me another bud light please.
The funeral and the wake all in one place at the same time, what a great idea.
In today’s economy, sometimes you’ve just got to go for the bargain deal.
The crowd at the hospital nursery wasn’t receptive so they tried a new angle.
The band took ‘death metal’ a little to literaly.
The priest thought saying “you need more cowbell” would be inappropriate.
Confusion ensued following the band’s “Hymn to a Dead Rocker”.
Kurt Cobain would be proud.
You just never know about these rock bands…. They seemed like such nice young men.
“As we walk through the valley of the shadow of… “ROCK!!!” “Whoa! Whose ready to PARTY!?!?!”
“Mic check 1, 2, 1, 2… Do we gotta pulse? I don’t believe we do. You can’t be flat lining on me, I won’t be able to survive without thee. Don’t make like a frog and croak… Okay, enough joke… LET’S ROCK!!”
“It doesn’t really matter that Johnny got laid to rest, the key words in the story is that JOHNNY GOT LAID!! WHOA!!!”
“Umm….actually Steve…I think you misread my email…you guys are scheduled to go on at 10……..PM!!”
Dude, Jesus has his own rock band!
Ok you guys ..we really need to iron out this whole “share” the space, share the rent” deal once and for all!!!
“…and my your soul rest in peace. Amen. NOW, let’s hear it for O’Sullivan’s new house band: Jesus and the Disciples!”
“We are, ‘Grateful Dead’”.

2. Discounts available for funeral/wake combos.
3. Let us rock you into the afterlife!
4. Why prop the old geezer up beside the jukebox when they play live music?
“…and all of the people said: ROCK ON! (and Amen)”

Important safety tip….stay away from the “clams casino”!
It was clear to Father O”Malley that the Grateful Dead were not listening to the music.
A bit too late, Father Pat realize his mistake of double-booking the banquet hall.
The food is to die for!
Where music is a life or death situation.
A place to eat as you go.
