This is the just plain bitchin’ Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest. (The contest your brother-in-law, the one who flosses with Lincoln Logs, warned you about.)
PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE TWO CONTESTS TO VOTE ON THIS WEEK!
First, you must break a tie in the “Poodle Ram” caption contest:
Break the tie between these two extra fine captions.
Total Voters: 121
And now, I command you to cast a vote for your favorite “Bear Stands” caption:
Time to vote for your favorite "Bear Stands" caption.
Total Voters: 146
T-SHIRTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Praise the Lord! I’ve created a swell new t-shirt, with the help of Adobe CS3 and the folks at CafePress. If you’ve won the contest, have been a finalist, OR, if you’ve submitted at least 20 captions over the past 6 months, I can create a customized shirt for you. (If you have a preference for another product, say a coffee mug, or a hat, or maybe you fancy bazookas or other types of field artillery, I can have CafePress plaster my cartoons with your logos on them as well – except maybe the weapons, I have to check on that.) Just send the cartoon by contest name, your caption and full name to: splendidmarbles at gmail dot com.
Here’s a shot of the shirt:
CLICK HERE if you would like one of your very own (there are two more styles available and some designs I came up with a little while back, just click “Back to Shop” on the link.) By the way, the sign on the yard says: Splendid Marbles / inquire within.
And, check out more cartoons and the winners of the caption contest in the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Gallery.
While you’re here, sign up for my feed so you can get some of the best in original political cartoons and commentary.
Please note: I will send out an email on Mondays to remind you about the contest. I will NOT pester you at any other time during the week, and I will NOT share your email with another living soul – or organization run by the living. AND, I will take you off of the list as soon as you request to be removed – just send a reply email with “UNSUBSCRIBE” in the subject line. Thank you, and have fun with this week’s cartoon. (Please be advised: I reserve the right to remove comments that contain foul language.)
