CARTOON CAPTION/ANTI-CAPTION CONTESTS CONTINUE!

A week after Kentucky entered the winners circle, Alabama makes its own debut in Caption Contest 97 (whack-a-human office) with

"Go fetch your mallet, Wilkins--we'll play doubles."
Joel Brouwer (Tuscaloosa, AL)

In Caption Contest 99 (doctor and arrow-ridden cowboy), the nominees are

"I’d like to get your arrow count down."
David Wilkner (Pawtucket, RI)

"Have you tried sleeping on your side?"
Phyllis Mass (Philadelphia, PA)

"On the plus side, it's a terrific example of Native American craftsmanship."
Norm Tabler (Indianapolis, IN)

My loser:

"At least you weren't on the rifle range."

In Anti-Caption Contest 100 (sunglassed couple on ark), the winner is

"The shades aren't working. I can still see everyone we know perishing by flood."
gary

My loser:

"Isn't it funny, how we're all in the same boat?"

Caption Contest 101 is here. Anti-Caption Contest 101 is here, and already quite funny.
