The CartoonStock Cartoon Caption Contest No. 198

In the CartoonStock Caption Contest number 198, two angels in heaven watch a third angel who is carrying multiple halos. The male observing angel speaks.


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 $215 into the first forty-three pay-to-play contests and this forty-fourth challenge brings my total cash outlay up to $220. Having achieved runner-up status with three previous entries, thank you, I've collected $300 from CartoonStock, so I'm playing with the house's money. In fact, so few contestants enter that the odds may generally be considered favorable even for us less-gifted caption writers. My three entries this round are shown below, above the break. The cartoonist is Nate Fakes. He's new to me and therefore new to the blog.

"Now he'll sell them in the other place."
"He gets them cheap from China."
"Another damn collector."

"He told me mine was one-of-a-kind."
"Great. Now everybody will have one."
"It must be ring toss day."
"He still has Prime."
"He runs the lost and found."
