Loading ...And, I have TWO winners to present to you. Congratulations to Allison, for winning the tie breaker in the “Desert Alien” caption contest.
Nicely done, Allison!
And, hats, or lampshades off, to be more precise (I apologize, that was so weak), to James for his smashing victory last week.
Congratulations, James!
Almost forgot! Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 20th. This gives me the perfect excuse to talk about (ok, shamelessly promote) the work of a friend and fellow cartoonist, Tony Rubino (we went to high school together). Tony writes a syndicated cartoon strip called “Daddy’s Home” (Gary Markstein does the illustration) which is now featured on over 200 websites and in more than 30 print publications. He also publishes humor books, and his latest, Why Didn’t I Think of That?: 101 Inventions that Changed the World by Hardly Trying is perfect for all the Dad’s out there who are couch-bound, but who nonetheless salivate over History and Discovery Channel programs. Tony also has a cool store that features more of his “Daddy’s Home” wares.
And, check out more cartoons and the winners of the caption contest in the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Gallery.
