Contest No. 205 starts right now.
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. To enter your caption, 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”. There is no charge to submit captions, and the only prize is the honor of being one of the funniest people around.
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 will 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. Every posted caption has a notation as to the date and time it was received. 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. I am the sole judge and the winning caption will be the one I deem to be the funniest one submitted (not necessarily the one that matches or comes closest to my original caption).
The cut-off time and date for you to send in your captions is midnight Wednesday, October 25, 2023.
Below is the drawing that needs your funny captions. Once again, this is another ancient cartoon of mine — I’m guessing that I probably originally drew it about 60 or 65 years ago. Good luck, Captioneers!

“We’re sick of your behavior.”
“I’ll be back in 60-65 years. Don’t wait up.”
“I’m taking the mutt for a walk in ten minutes. You’ll probably need your coat.”
I’m finally home, honey, and I think something fishy is going on.
I think Fido smells a rat
I`m leaving you so he can have the doghouse all to himself.
“Sorry I’m late; I slept through my 5:00 o’clock time to go home alarm again.”
“If I don’t sleep through my five o’clock time to go home alarm I should be back about six.”
“It’s time for the mutt walk. He can stay here until we come back.”
“I’m leaving you and him for a dog trainer and her golden retriever.”
I guess we’re both sleeping in the dog house tonight.
“It looks like Buddy can smell your cooking. Don’t worry, I’ll give the vet a heads up.”
“I’ll grab something to eat at the office. You can give my dinner to buddy.”
“I didn’t bring a puppy home. Maybe it was supposed to be in last week’s caption contest but it showed up a week late.”
“I think it was supposed to be in the next caption contest, but it showed up a week early.”
“Sorry, darling, if somebody told you that hound can smell gin martinis you were conned.”
You know how much I love Peanuts and he’s the closest thing I could find to Snoopy. At least be glad that I didn’t bring home a doppelganger for Pig-Pen!
He’s just sad I’m the one leaving.
“I just said I’m leaving . . . for the office . . . not leaving you two!”
“But dear, last night you said ‘choose either you or the dog’. I just hope you know how much we’re gonna miss you.”
“So you’re saying I have to choose between you and the most beautiful, affectionate, free spirited, loving, non-judgmental, companion I’ve ever had?”
“Really, I won her in a poker game. It was the best hand I ever had and I just couldn’t fold.”
” . . . and by the way ‘Sweet Cheeks’, . . . the same goes for your little dog ‘Tito’ too!”
“I let Buddy know you want him fixed.”
“Looks like we both have to go.”
“Can you let us both out?”
“That dog is just like the rest of your family; unless he’s barking you can’t be sure if he’s coming or going.”
“Have you considered teaching him to walk backwards?”
“Whaddya mean my story doesn’t pass the sniff test?”
“Of course I’m late, the boss won’t let me drink at work.”
“Sorry I’m late, I had to break-in a new secretary.”
I know you like sniffing around, but now you have our dog doing it.
“I’m sorry honey, I didn’t want to go out drinking and miss our ‘Anniversary dinner’, but what could I do . . . the boss’s dog died . . .
I had to console him.”
“I’m sorry honey, I didn’t want to go out drinking and miss our ‘Anniversary dinner’, but what could I do . . . after all, the boss’s dog died . . . I had to console him.”
“Wipe those phony ‘crocodile tears’, they worked for the last
‘five’ years . . . but they’re not your “get out of ‘the dog-house’
free” card, for this anniversary.”
“He’s never gonna catch a rabbit and he goes around crying all the time.”
“He reminds me of your side of the family, Mildred; at first I thought they were high class too.”
“Both of us think your cooking is disappointing.”
He’s looked all day but still can’t find his fleas.
He’s mad at me. I took his kibble and gave him my dinner.
“His name is Liberace. The pet shop owner said ‘of all the dogs they’ve sold over the last ten years he’s the pee-n-ist’.”
I let him know he has to share our bed with you.
“Did our dog lose all his teeth or am I just looking at the wrong end again?”
“Both you and the apron have seen better days.”
If I were Fido I would like me better too.
“It is not his fault he has a better pedigree than you.”
“The neighbour asked if you would ignore his dog too.”
“Dogs and their owners often share similar facial characteristics. For example, you two share the same nose and eyes.”
“The truth? Okay, it’s a new men’s cologne that smells like perfume.”
“Just remember, Buddy, you’re my best friend. She’s just my wife.”
I forgot to give a dog a bone.
“Would you cook up some of your chicken cacciatore? Buddy is a little constipated.”
“Doggone it . . . I can’t have that cute little Maltese over, again
tonight.”
“You just need to train him like you trained me.”
“Maybe that pain in my a-s has always been evident.”
