Contest No. 151 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. You will also be asked to verify that you are a human being and not a robot. Please follow the instructions in the “Captcha” box. 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 may 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, September 17, 2019.
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.

To my amusement … I
To my amusement … I discovered that this cartoon picture was a bit of an OPTICAL ILLUSION for ME! I had entered a few captions, before noticing that the patient’s EYES were CLOSED – or so I thought. I then added the Hypnotism and Narcolepsy captions, in keeping with the closed eyes. (I wondered why no one else took the closed eyes into account.) Now, I know why! With my Large screen on … I see that the eyes were OPEN!! It is funny, though, (if you look at the cartoon) … I took the top, curved line for the eyebrow – the eyeball dot … for the bridge of the nose – And, the curved, bottom line of the eye … resembled a closed eye. Can you see it… or is it just me?
