This is the Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest – the one that kicks the New Yorker’s ass each and every week. (The contest your cousin, the one who eats hair because he just plain likes the taste of it, warned you about.)
Here’s your chance to vote on last week’s “Potty Hand” contest. (Actually, it’s your duty as a citizen of the planet Earth – really, go look it up.)
Time to vote for your favorite "Potty Hand" caption.
Total Voters: 134
There are two winners to present this week.
The first is K, who won the runoff for the “Poodle Ram” contest.
The second is Lindsey, who won the “Bear Stands” contest – and it was on her first attempt (I believe that is a first).
T-SHIRTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE! Hail Satan and all of his minions! 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.)
