Contest No. 180 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, November 24, 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.

Yes, I can see that children sitting on my lap would cause a little problem.
I know I can do the job
even though I fill out the costume a little bit differently.
“Rudolph just created an unhealthy workplace, and I’m not cleaning it up!”
You never mentioned the Santa Claus in my contract.
“Mrs. Claus wants a raise.”
“Santa needs to keep his hands to himself.”
“Rudolph won’t leave the women’s restroom.”
“Why should Santa make more money than me?”
“Santa smells like a brewery.”
“I want a three year no-cut contract and the right to pick Santa.”
“I don’t have the stomach for this job.”
“The men are crushing my legs.”
“There’s no Santa clause in my contract.”
“No, no, no.”
“Your pencil will suffice as a sharp stick.”
“Santa is being a bit too jolly of an old elf.”
“I told Santa and you were supposed to tell your wife.”
”I agreed to be a helper to Santa Claus . . . not Santa Paws!”
“Of course ‘Santa’s’ not complaining about low wages . . . the only
thing the kids are grabbing on him, is his beard!”
“You call ‘this’, a promotion!”
“I thought this was Little Orphan Annie’s Christmas”.
“No, I’m not embarrassed, Stein went crazy with the pencil.”
Feh!
