Cartoon Caption Contests

“Naughty Kong” Cartoon Caption Contest

This is why I don't live in Manhattan.

This is the incredibly fabulous Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest.

  • Type a clever caption and place it in the comments section, along with a valid email address, and you could 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, March 14th 2010.
  • I’ll select five finalists, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, March 15th, 2010.
  • That’s it!

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.

Here’s your opportunity to vote on last week’s “Man Walker” caption contest.
