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.
