Contest No. 177 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 “See Comments and Add Your Own”. Then (2) scroll down past any other submitted captions and type in your name and your caption in the spaces provided. You may also be asked to verify that you are a human being and not a robot, so please follow the instructions in the “Captcha” box. Then (3) click “Save”.
Your caption (or captions) will be posted after I review your submission. However, 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 Wednesday, September 1, 2021.
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.

“Well Your Honor, I knew Judge Wapner and you sir are no Judge Wapner!”
I’m sorry Judge, but the jury is deadlocked on whether we should order
deli or Italian food for lunch.
May I leave the room?
“We, the jury, find the Invisible Man ‘Guilty’, for failing to appear
in court!”
”We will have you forcibly removed from the bench of this ‘Kangaroo
Court!’… How dare you insult our intelligence with that crock,
about discrimination against the ‘Invisible!”’
”We refuse to be kicked off the jury for racial remarks….for simply stating
that the case was very black and white!”
“We the jury find the judge guilty of making us skip breakfast.”
“Your honor, I’m not really feeling The Foreman. It just doesn’t speak to me. With my credits and my authoritative presence, I think I’d be more right for Counsel for the Defense.”
“We were promised ‘Judge Judy!'”
Your Honor,
My wife and I cannot agree on anything at home and we cannot agree
on this case either. Please dismiss her from the jury.
“Are you letting your nasal hair grow to comb over your forehead.”
“Oh we have a verdict, but you won’t get it until we get lunch.”
“We want the record to read ‘really, really guilty’.”
“Your Honor, we the jury do not like the hotel we’re in, the food you call lunch, or these hard seats.”
“It’s deja vu all over again.”
“As to the charge of murder in the first degree, the jury is still out.”
“Remember Henry Fonda in 12 Angry Men? Well, we got one.”
“You think we’re gonna reach a verdict? We can’t even agree on being vaccinated.”
“This DUI case is boring, boring, boring. Isn’t there a good murder case we can hear?”
“We find the defendant guilty, and his attorney creepy.”
“We would like to go home early today. Judge Judy is much more entertaining.”
“I know we said that we could be fair and impartial but the defendant’s testimony was absurd.”
“What we have here is failure to exonerate.”
“You better get out of there before the judge comes back.”
“No, we don’t have a verdict. We don’t even have a foreperson yet.”
“Would you tell the defendant to stop winking at juror #2.”
“It’s going to remain a ‘hung jury’… until she gets her popcorn chicken!”
“We have reached a verdict, Your Honor, and we’re feeling guilty about it.”
“Letting the defendant out on bail was simply stupid.”
“There is nothing about the defendant which would prejudice me if I was chosen as a juror but I must say that I’m not crazy about you.”
Yes we have reached a consensus. It turns out that we don’t care one way or the other.
How do you expect us to make a decision if you won’t lend us a quarter??
