Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 222

“I thought we were keeping this relationship quiet.”

(by Michael Lomazow)

 

My original caption: “I think it’s for one of our daughters.”

 

Big congratulations, Michael Lomazow, on this, your sixth victory. Your last triumph was in Contest No. 200, back in June 2023, and it’s great to have you in the winner’s circle once more. You can now bask in your glory — you are once again one of the funniest people around!

Here are the other captions that almost made it:

“I get the hint.” (by Diane Weisman)

“It’s your Not-So-Secret Admirer.” (by Joe Ayella)

“It might be a prank or it might be cause for divorce.” (also by Joe Ayella)

“This ain’t right . . . I ordered you e-chocolates and an e-card online!” (by Lee Lacewell)

“He said he’s been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.” (by Jonathan Stein)

“It’s something that WILL go to ‘waist’, sweetheart.” (by Pat Foley)

“Is this payback for the power saw I got you for Christmas?” (by Scott Malcolm)

“They are all coconut or maple. It was a huge sale.” (by Mark S.)

“Your cheatin’ heart . . . just told on you.” (by Gary)

 

On a final note, my congrats also go out to Captioneer Joe Ayella, who this week was selected for not one, but two, prize-winning runner-up captions in Bob Mankoff’s CartoonStock Caption Contest. Way to go, Joe!

 

Contest No. 223 will be posted in due course, Captioneers, so be on the lookout for it. Many thanks for participating.

  1. Two good captions, but I received them a couple of days after the Contest’s closing deadline, so they could not be considered. Hope you try again in future Contests, Susan, and please heed the deadlines.
