CARTOON CAPTION/ANTI-CAPTION CONTESTS CONTINUE!

Hooray for Larry Wood! That's who won Caption Contest #92 (couple confronting dolphin looking for fin-outs) with
"If he's so damn intelligent, let him get a job."
Lawrence Wood (Chicago, IL)
So sorry, Justin ("Come on, George. You know he's only going to spend it on more oxygen.") Sarma--but thanks for the comment!


In Caption Contest #94 (angels observing angel with golf clubs and barbecue grill), the nominees are from the west:
"I guess membership does have its privileges."
Abdullah Abukusumo (Long Beach, CA)

"So you can take it with you!"
Gale Davis (Zephyr Cove, NV)

"Nobody brings what we really need—colorful, stylish clothes."
Eric Cooper (Santa Monica, CA)
My loser:
"God plays in mysterious ways."

In Anti-Caption Contest #95 (filing man vs. tiger atop filing cabinet), the winner is
"So, do you think thats the tiger they were talking about in the e-mail?"
emily miletello
My losers:
"He's actually lucky. He could have picked the room with Omarosa in it."

"How many times do I have to remind you? The tiger belongs in the feline cabinet!"
