Unfortunately, the doctor is in...
This is the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest, and the rules are pretty simple.
Now, if you would be so kind, take a minute to vote on last week’s “Men Mouth” contest.

It's time to cast your vote!!
Time to vote for your favorite "MenMouth" caption.
Total Voters: 82
Just so you know – The Cartoonist is in hospital today, taking care of The Cartoonist’s Mom. In his absence, I, (The Wife) hijacked the contest and picked the captions. Usually we collaborate on the choices, and as long time caption-submitters may know we discuss these passionately. Breakfast foodstuffs fly, many a hostile muttered (or not so muttered) comment is exchanged. Bottom line is I take responsibility for these. But, feel free to send The Cartoonist any complaints about my choices, ’stead o’me.
Signed,
The Wife
And, here’s the winner of the “Pilgrim Trial” contest:

Nicely done, OZ!
