Winner of Eli’s Cartoon Caption Contest No. 240

“Forget ChatGPT, you’ve got DadPhd.”

(by Kelly Nagle)

 

My original caption: “No, I believe ‘Con man’ is short for ‘Confidence man’,  not ‘Congressman’.”

 

Congratulations, Kelly Nagle, on your fabulous fifteenth victory. Your wins go way back to Caption Contest No. 2, in February, 2010. You’ve entered captions under several names, including just “Kelly” and also “Kelasher”, but we’ve managed to keep track of you all this time. You must be familiar with the routine, so get out there and shout it to the world — you are definitely one of the funniest people around!

I’m pretty proud of my original caption. Even though my unpublished cartoon goes back a decade or two, it still gets a smile from me whenever I look at it. I think it’s very interesting that, old as it is, it’s still very appropriate.

Here are the other captions that I was seriously considering for top honors:

“For summer, I want you to learn a new word a day. Start with ‘staycation’.” (by Joe Ayella)

“I do have change for a twenty. Show me the twenty first.” (by Michael Lomazow)

“No pay wall . . . I just give a boy on a bicycle a few quarters and I get all the breaking news from yesterday!” (by Lee Lacewell)

“If it’s not about quantum physics, ask your mother.” (by Scott Malcolm)

“What Timmy? Lassie fell down a well?” (by Mark S.)

“It’s time we had ‘the talk’ . . . go ask Mom.” (by Rich Wolf)

“I know we don’t think alike or look alike, but yes, you are my son.” (by Diane Weisman)

“It’s called a newspaper. You’ll learn all about it in history class.” (by Sharon Groth)

 

Also, a shout-out to Captioneer Joe Ayella, who won First Prize in the latest Cartoon Stock Caption Contest. That’s the way to go, Joe . . . nice work!

Contest No. 241 will be posted in due time, Captioneers, so keep a sharp eye out for it. Thanks for participating!
