In the CartoonStock Caption Contest number 195, a woman confronts her husband with a superhero suit.
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 $200 into the first forty pay-to-play contests and this forty-first challenge brings my total cash outlay up to $205. Having achieved runner-up status with three previous entries, thank you, I've collected $300 from CartoonStock, so I'm very much 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 are shown below, above the break. The cartoonist is Ken Levine, who is new to me and thus new to the blog.
"And is there a Wow Woman?" "Tell me again why it takes you three hours to pick up milk." "This explains our dry cleaning bill." * * * "Shall I hang it in the mancave?" "You shouldn't have given Alfred the day off."
