Those concerned about my declining prospects in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest can breathe a sigh of relief that after two weeks of inexplicable flightiness I now have resumed my customary weekly submission. Nevertheless, I don't think my odds are too much better. Here is my entry for Contest #423 for April 14, 2014. The frothy drawing is by Gahan Wilson. The squeaky-clean caption is by me.
May 5, 2014: Winning Caption
Note: Last week I didn't remember to submit my caption. No wonder I didn't become a finalist! Read the details of Contest #422 here. Turtle power!

Here are a few other unused caption ideas of mine:

| "Quick, Mavis, my Speedo!" "Guess where the word creepy comes from?" "Don't just stand there! Lock the front door!" "I'm taking the tub and leaving you." "You know how you always say I'm getting carried away?" "Care to join me?" "You were right. We should have replaced it with a Jacuzzi." "It's time for our walk." "No, it's too late for bubbles." |
