The CartoonStock Caption Contest #158

Why not pour ourselves another drink and settle down with the CartoonStock Caption Contest #158? My three entries cost me $5—a steal! Cash prizes are set at $500 for first place and $100 for each of five runners up. So far I've invested $20 in this contest and I'm keeping a tally. The cinematic drawing is by Tom Chitty.

"The G.O.P is clueless on rebranding."
"No planes—maybe we're both just wasted."
"It's innovative all right, but I prefer the classics."

The CartoonStock Caption Contest #157

The rules have changed once again for the CartoonStock Caption Contest #157. It still costs $5 to enter three captions. Cash prizes are now $500 for first place and $100 each for five runners up. The drawing is by Jon Adams.

"Would it kill them to write us into the Marvel Universe?"
"Apparently no one is too big to fail."
"We would have a complementary sushi bar in Tokyo."

These captions were too small-minded:

"Exactly. It's the pictures that got small."
"Damn Marvel Comics."
"How did the Marshmallow Man get in here?"

August 30, 2022 Update:  Lawrence Wood, now the eight-time winner of The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest, had a lot to say about my second entry, but it still did not make it into the top six:

Hmm... It seems I should have tried entering that first of my rejected captions.

Then Wood brings up my non-winning caption again:

My Entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #805

What's the big deal with my entry in The New Yorker Cartoon Caption Contest #805 from the issue of June 6, 2022? My outsized caption is shown below. The drawing is by Pia Guerra and Ian Boothby.

"Let's do our next session remotely."

These captions weren't up to the climb:

"In many ways, you both have grown."
"At least you're no longer getting carried away."
"It's $200 per session plus replastering."
