In the CartoonStock Caption Contest number 192, we find two cats, a psychiatrist and a patient, both sitting in boxes in the office. The patient is speaking.
The rules of the monthly cash prize contest have not changed (and neither has my description of them): 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 $185 into the first thirty-seven pay-to-play contests and this thirty-eighth challenge brings my total cash outlay up to $190. Having achieved runner-up status with two previous entries, I've collected $200 from CartoonStock, so I'm still playing with the house's money, just. In fact, so few contestants enter that the odds may generally be considered favorable even for us less-gifted caption writers. My three entries are shown below, above the break. The cartoonist is Scribbly G—or Grant Meikle—who is new to me and new to the blog.
