Cartoon Caption Contests

“Viking Protest” Cartoon Caption Contest

Does that sword cut left, right or straight down the center?

Please Note: This one’s a little different from the cartoons I’ve posted for this contest over the past year. His sign cries out for a slogan, but feel free to say whatever you want, any way you want to – I too believe in the freedom of speech.

This is the ultra fabulous Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest. (The one your aunt, who resides in the fruit cellar, warned you about.)

  • 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, April 25th 2010.
  • I’ll select five finalists, which will be voted on starting noon Monday, April 26th, 2010.
  • That’s it!

Now, please vote for your favorite caption from last week’s “Strange Bedfellows” caption contest.

They make quite the couple, you must admit!

Time to vote for your favorite "Strange Bedfellows" caption.
