June 20, 2016 Update: I voted for the third caption.
June 27, 2016 Update: Winning Caption
Note: Last week Joe Dator opened up a giant barrel of monkeys and I said, "Everybody's got something to hide except for me and my caption." Peel open the result of Contest #523.
Zachary Kanin has done battle with this blog before.

| "You know you can breathe fire, right?" |
I dueled with these potential captions as well:
|
| "Actually, my game is backgammon." "You should have paid attention in dragon school." "Now to finish you off before the fire-breathing round." "If I don't kill you, smoking will." |

Another very specific cartoon. You need to address that the dragon is using a sword, which you've done. Mine: "Don't forget about the outdoor smoking ban." But once again I think I was slightly outdone. This time by someone whose caption mentioned a "firearm ban".
ReplyDeleteSomeone else used "ceasefire", which is also good.
DeleteThere are lots of good ideas out there.
