Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 29

Cartoon Caption Contest No. 29 starts right now.

Briefly, here are the details: I’ll supply a drawing of one of my old cartoons that has never been published, leaving off my caption. You are invited to supply your funniest captions. Simply (1) click on “COMMENTS†underneath the current drawing. Then (2) scroll down past all the other comments and type in your name and your caption in the spaces provided. Then (3) enter the anti-spam security word that assures me that you’re a human being and not a machine, and (4) click “Submitâ€. There is no limit on the number of captions you can submit for each drawing.

Entries will be accepted and posted for one week, after which a winner will be announced and the winning caption will be printed. Below that I will also print my original caption. The cut-off time and date for you to submit your captions for this contest is midnight Tuesday, November 8, 2011.

I will be the sole judge. The winning caption will be the one I judge to be the funniest one submitted (not necessarily the one that matches or comes closest to my original caption).

Additional rules and regulations, for those of you who need such things, can be found here.

And this is the drawing that needs your funny captions:

    3. “I’m tired of being the dark side of this “good witch-bad witch” thing. How about if I do the stirring and you throw in the arsenic pills.”

    2. “Stand back, these Mentos are going to shoot this brew sky-high!” (Note: If you don’t get this one, look up “Mentos in Coke” on Youtube.)

    2. “Here’s the kidney stones you wanted, and believe me, it wasn’t easy getting my husband to pass them.”
    3. “Somehow, chanting ‘Double, double, toil and trouble…Fire burn and cauldron bubble’ over a pot of chicken soup, doesn’t sound too nefarious to me.”
