This is the incredibly fabulous Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest.
Now, a few words about this cartoon:
As a child, I was a big fan of “Monster Week,” which was shown every few months on the 4:30 Movie on WABC. I’ve always been fascinated with the destructive power of giant monsters. I loved the way they tossed man’s greatest weapons about as if they were mere toys as they smashed his greatest cities – mainly Tokyo – with an almost poetic grace. (I am aware that the monsters were actually men in monster suits smashing tiny replicas of tanks and warplanes.)
As I became an immature adult, I started to ponder the practical consequences of giant monsters roaming densely populated cities. For food, there are plenty of panicky people scurrying about, so that is not a problem. But, where exactly do they relieve themselves? I mean, it’s hard enough for an average-sized human to find a decent public bathroom in a city like Manhattan. What about a bad-tempered, 60 foot beast? And, that is why I created this cartoon. Maybe the mess caused by these monsters played a part in humanity’s determination to remove these creatures from their cities.
