This week's Cartoon Caption Contest
By Rob Tornoe
Come up with a pointed caption for this cartoon and email it to rob.tornoe@politicker.com, or post it in the comments below. Make sure you include your email address so I can contact the winner. Keep it clean (this is a family website) and keep it brief (brevity is the soul of wit). Whether you email or post, include your name and the name of the city where you live. Your deadline is noon Friday.
We'll post the winner's name and caption here Saturday morning, along with several runner-ups. If you send us your name and address, we'll mail the winning writer a color print of the cartoon with the caption, signed by Rob Tornoe. Please allow at least 4 weeks for delivery.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to email me at rob.tornoe@politicker.com.
Good luck, and have fun!
