The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #100

Maybe I've got the Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #100 all locked up. Maybe not. One hundred contests already? My captions are below. The drawing is by Brooke Bourgeois.

"He was caught with how many hands in the cookie jar?"
"He went to extremes over the right to bear arms."
"He can't be a serial killer if he strangled eight at once."
"It's a felony to bring him Vaseline."
"That will never hold Slippery Rick."
"Are you sure he can't pick the lock?"



November 20, 2020 Update:  The Winner

The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #93

The Cartoon Collections Caption Contest #93 manages to misspell the name of the cartoonist. At least Cartoon Collections got Godzilla's name right. The drawing is by Brooke Bourgeois.






I had some concern that the bride possibly could be the intended speaker here, but I strongly preferred to have Godzilla as the speaker and I went with this in all three captions I submitted.
"Do I look like the sort to forever hold my peace?"
"I hope you weren't planning a honeymoon in Tokyo."
"Sorry, they didn't have a tux in my size."



September 30, 2020 Update:  The Winner
The bride is the speaker in each of these three.

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #716

Try not to get too close to my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #716 for July 13, 2020. The drawing is by Brooke Bourgeois.
"And what happens during the hours we aren't fasting."

I also tried this variation:
"And what happens when we reach our goal weight?"

July 27, 2020 Update:
  On an empty stomach, I voted with Kearney.


August 10, 2020 Update:  The Winner




Note:  Last time around in the Caption Contest, cartoonist Mort Gerberg gave us Humpty Dumpty in a bar after the fall. My caption couldn't put Humpty together again. Raise a glass to Contest #715.

My Entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #670

Saddle up for my entry in the New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #670 dated July 22, 2019. The drawing is by Brooke Bourgeois.
"I feel ridiculous without my lance."



These captions needed a white knight:
"I've outgrown just knee pads."
"It was either this or go back to training wheels."
"It's included with Citi Bike."



July 29, 2019 Update:  The Finalists


August 12, 2019 Update:  I like them all but I voted with Malibu.

  The Winner




Note:  Last time around, cartoonist John Klossner showed us a little stand-up routine in the nursery. My caption was strictly off-mike. Check out Contest #669.

This marks Brooke Bourgeois's first appearance on this blog. It's all downhill from here.
