This is the almost Brand New Splendid Marbles “Photo Caption Contest”. This should be a lot of fun – for me at least, and after all, that is what matters most and is why this site is still up and running.
This poll is closed; Chris Anderson is the winner.
Total Voters: 51
And here’s the winner of the 99th Splendid Marbles Cartoon Caption Contest:
CUSTOMIZED T-SHIRTS, COFFEE MUGS & LAW ENFORCEMENT GRADE STUN GUNS* AVAILABLE! 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. (*Totally kidding about the stun guns.) And, you can order the one featured below right away!
Here’s a shot of the shirt featuring one of my swell contest cartoons:
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.
By the way, you can also find my work at GoComics, in the Sherpa section.

“Big head. Small brains.”
…and nine months later Sarah Jessica Parker came out.
Take me to your liter.
“I asked for a “Designated Driver” NOT Dead…”
I traded Barbie for this at the toy show.
This will soften the blow when Mary Kay sees what I did to her hood.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. A Bush in the hand can get you killed.
Ill be gettin that Fo Sho.
Fo Sho
We’re his toys and we have to protect him from the dangers of the world….. lets go drink his booze.
I’m going to pick up Malibu Barbie;

This is my extra virgin vessel, buddy. Go get your own.
“Hey! Don’t drink and drive! Drive with drink!! Now Get in the caaaaaaah!”
Hey buddy…size isn’t eveything… monkey brain.
Shall we have a wee dram?
I said a Single Malt …
Did you ever see a conveyance with a more ridiculous design?
“Yep..been living here on earth for 6 months now and think I am really blending in with the locals!”
It’s running on empty…Come ‘on and have some fun in my pink Cadillac!
Hey! I dig the headgear! Jockeys?
Fear and Loathing leaving Las Banos.
What’s with the helmet? Don’t you trust my driving?
“So are we gonna try to make room for my head?!…That’s what I thought.”
When I drink, I was not so razrisuy face.
So THAT’S what you wanted the oil for?! Screw you guys, I’m going home! And no pun intended you creep!
“I don’t mind the pink color, and I love the way it runs on olive oil, but every time I drive it I end up craving pizza.”
“The last time I drove that car, I had to hunt down a rogue broccoli in some guy’s freezer.”
…and here’s a dollar for you, you sweet thing. I am so happy that Sam’s Club has finally employed bag boys to help customers with their groceries!
Viva Las Vegas!
It’s my outhouse.
I look stupid??? Well at least I’m not wearing my underwear on my head!!!
Be careful with that stuff, look what it did to my head.
Open door,open hood, open car – okay. Open container – go to jail.
“Look at this! I leave the car parked for less than 10 minutes and some fat head comes along and drops a bottle of Bushmills on my brand new 1960’s Cadillac.”
Ya know, the stuff that comes in a box woulda fit into the car better!
No, my name is NOT Clint Eastwood, and you cannot have my autograph!
Chill man chill, the mere thought of the street value of this stuff has already swelled your head beyond belief.
What do you mean I got 98 more to pass around before the next chorus?
“Give me the keys. I’ll drive.”
“Don’t you think it would be better if I drove so I can see over the bottle?”
Do you think anyone will notice the Bushmill’s?
Come on. I think I can hotwire this one!
Come on Joe, take off the mask. No one will notice it’s you in this pink car.
Don’t laugh, it’s paid for.

I know it’s a come-as-you-are party. But, what ARE you?
“What’s the definition of blasphemy?”
Mixing Bushmills with anything but ice.
Even in Zombieland you can find your share of drunk, gay martians.
Where’s John ? He got stepped on by a human on the way over.
Give me your liquor or I’ll eat your martian butt. What about both?
What took you so long ? Take the alcohol to the refreshment chamber.
Chevrolet, Whiskey, and Burger King toys. An American heritage you can be proud of.

Just an observation: Don’t ever get rid of your toys like I did.
I’m sorry, there is no room for you’ Dad.
Told you not to be late…..now you have to ride in the back.
Did you remember the ice ?
But all you said was the car needs oil, not a certain kind.
“…We’re plastic, but, we’ll still have fun!”

Who you gonna call? Bushmill Busters!
Bushmill swore to protect and serve his product, even if that meant taking on a Jack Daniels henchman that was twice his size.
Bushmill told the valet “You can scratch the car all you want, but if there’s anything wrong with the whiskey then we’re gonna have a serious problem.”
“I’m not intoxicated so you can’t give me a DWI, unless that means Driving with the Intent to Party!”
“Here’s your olive oil, on time as promised. So, that’s what you wrestlers use to oil your skin!”
Little green Martian – $10.
WWF wrestling figure – $20.
Model pink cadillac – $30.
Bushmill’s Irish Whiskey… priceless!
No ice? No cups? Neanderthal!
Too much weight on the shocks – what say we lighten the load a bit?!
So we’re out of gas… are we going to let that spoil our whole day?!
I’m so glad you came along – I’ve been stranded here for hours. Help me get the cap off that bottle!
That’s right Mr. Lewis, if you purchase a car this weekend from Benny’s Car Emporium, we will throw in a lifetime supply of irish whiskey.
“Hey-it gets me in the car pool lane!”
“Drink it? I married it!”
How was I supposed to know a mini-bar drink would be so expensive?
What do you mean you forgot the plan? I bring the Bushmills, you bring Barbie. It’s BYOB, only better!
looks like someone got a real job and forgot about the contest…
“Listen to me – if there’s two things humans love it’s Elvis and Alcohol. Trust me on this one.”
