Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 127

Contest No. 127 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 “Add New Comment”. Then (2) scroll down past any other submitted captions and type in your name and your caption in the spaces provided. Then (3) click “Save”.

Your caption (or captions) will be posted after I review your submission. Also, no captions at all will be posted for the first few days of each contest.  This is to give everybody a chance to submit their spontaneous, gut-instinct caption without fear of discovering that it was ripped off by somebody else’s similar spontaneous, gut-instinct caption. This is an equal opportunity contest!

There is no limit on the number of captions you can enter for each drawing, but I will only post and consider the first 15 captions from any contestant. 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 send in your captions is midnight Tuesday, December 12, 2017.  

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.

Below is the drawing that needs your funny captions.

    Thanks for your caption, Alex, but it arrived after the Tuesday midnight deadline, so it couldn’t be considered. I hope you try again in the future, and please observe the deadlines.

    Funny caption, Stephanie, but each Caption Contest runs for one week only, so your submission is more than a year too late to be considered. The same goes for the other 3 captions you sent for other past contests, which I’m not going to post. Thanks, and I hope you’ll be submitting captions for the Contests in the one-week allotted time frame.
