The CartoonStock Caption Contest #158

Why not pour ourselves another drink and settle down with the CartoonStock Caption Contest #158? My three entries cost me $5—a steal! Cash prizes are set at $500 for first place and $100 for each of five runners up. So far I've invested $20 in this contest and I'm keeping a tally. The cinematic drawing is by Tom Chitty.
"The G.O.P is clueless on rebranding."
"No planes—maybe we're both just wasted."
"It's innovative all right, but I prefer the classics."

"He was only the piano player. Did you shoot Elton?"
"For the last time, I don't want to be your next bloody page-turner."

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #636

It's time to unwrap my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #636 for October 22, 2018. The drawing is by Tom Chitty after a famous (staged) photograph by Charles C. Ebbets publicizing the construction of Rockefeller Center.

Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, 1932

"Ninety-nine days without an accident. Why?"

November 5, 2018 Update:  I cast my vote for the first caption.



November 12, 2018 Update:  The Winner



Note:  Last week cartoonist Christopher Weyant took some of the luster off finally meeting that knight in shining armor. I neglected to submit my finished caption, but you can still enjoy the joust as if I had. Take a shine to Contest #635.

Then you might want to hang with my older post about Tom Chitty.

My Entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #551

Give a wave to my entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #551 for January 2, 2016. The drawing is by Tom Chitty,

"It's the uncharted waters we've been hearing about!"


And some throwaways:
"We huddled masses are having second thoughts."
"Who's for trying Canada?"
"Let's try again in four years."
"But we're just sculling."
"Break into the State Anthem of the Russian Federation, everybody!"
"Who keeps saying everything will be all right?"
