In the CartoonStock Caption Contest number 203, a girl lying in bed looks down from her cellphone at a monster on the floor. The creature is the speaker. The cartoonist is Sofia Warren.
The rules of the monthly cash prize contest have not changed: Five dollars buys up to three entries. Real cash prizes are $500 for first place and $100 for each of five runners up. As of this writing, I've put $240 into the first forty-eight pay-to-play contests and this forty-ninth challenge brings my total cash outlay up to $245. Having achieved runner-up status with three previous entries, I've collected $300 from CartoonStock, so I'm still playing with the house's money, thank you very much. In fact, so few contestants enter that the odds may generally be considered favorable even for less-gifted caption writers. My three entries this round are shown below, above the break.
