Cartoon Caption Contest - Fall 2009

cartoon banner - fall 2009
Your Caption Here! -- coming soon

Welcome to our “Caption This Cartoon” Blog!
We invite you to create captions for our cartoon above which will be published on this Blog for all the world to see and will make you eligible for the coveted Meskimen Cartoon Contest Certificate and a swell prize picked out just for you! (Scroll down to see previous winners.)

History
For years, Jim & Tamra Meskimen have run this contest for their friends, and over the years it has attracted an international audience of clever people. What was once a monthly snail-mailing of a photocopied cartoon has evolved into the high tech, full color, global version of the game you see now.

Purpose
The original purpose of this game is to give people who aren't ordinarily asked to, a chance to write a gag. It's good for you to create.

Rules
• This is a family oriented blog, so no profanity, please.
• We will announce the winners, so please leave your name along with your captions. Anonymous entries will not be considered.
• You may submit as many captions as you like, and there are no restrictions on how many times you can win, so play on!

Have fun! And don't think too much!
