Contest No. 193 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 reveal my original caption.
The cut-off time and date for you to send in your captions is midnight Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
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).
Below is the drawing that needs your funny captions. Good luck, Captioneers!

I sure hope this ends with happily ever after, Dad.
Except for the not so subtle microagressions, it’s pretty good.
Dad, if you want to read fairy tales, we can read Aesop fables
“Tell me the real story, not this fictionalized crap.”
“Who wrote this, Pinocchio?”
“How about we stick to the sports page.”
“You mean, mom didn’t find me in the pumpkin
patch?”
“What is a pre-nup, Dad?”
“Can you read it again with a British accent this time?”
“Can we stream this instead?”
“Was Goldilocks just a dumbass?”
“Daddy, tell me again about Donald Trump thinking he’s relevant.”
‘Where is la-la land, Dad . . . and, did Mom go alone?”

Can you tell me the one about a family supported by a single income that owns their own home?
“Dad, can you choose another book . . . last time you read from ‘Family Tales’ I had nightmares for a week!”
“With the rise in the price of soybean futures Jack would be better off keeping the beans and selling puts on the gold eggs.”
Dad, these stories are supposed to put me to sleep, not the other way around.
“How about ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ for a change.”
“Daddy…that is not correct…I Googled it and it tells me that there is no such thing as a ‘fairy godmother’!!!!”

“Seems like the wolves are always at the door in our family.”
You know what? If you keep reading me this garbage, I’ll need something stronger than warm milk.
So, are you bragging or complaining?
But I’m adopted, ain’t I?

Dad I am twenty years old not five.
