Contest No. 181 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. 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, December 22, 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, in the spirit of the season I’m going with another “Santa” drawing, hoping fervently that it works out better than the Santa drawing I used for my Contest No. 180.

“It won’t kill you to act jolly for once.”
“You’re not a superhero. You can’t fly.”
Sorry Bob, but I still don’t believe in you.
“It’s the reindeer that pull Santa across the sky, ding dong!”
“No, you cannot pretend to be a monster in a Santa suit, for the naughty
children!”

I told you not to use so much starch when you cleaned it last Christmas.
You’re supposed to take the hanger out first you silly Santa.
Are you off to your Titans game with your other five dumb friends?
Practicing touching your nose now isn’t going to help for the office party tonight!
I can’t believe they forgot the beard.
“Now give me ten push ups.”
“It would be less painful, if you took out the packing pins first, Bozo!”
“So the person who made you buy it was that big, huh!”
