Here’s how it works:
I’ll post this cartoon for 4 days, you submit your own caption (as many as you like), and at the end of the 4 days, my cat and I will choose our favorite winning caption. Check back periodically and see what others have posted. (Try coming up with your own caption before reading what others have written!) I’ll publish the winning caption(s) on Tuesday, August 5. You can enter under any name you want, just make sure the e-mail address is real. (No-one else will see the e-mail address besides me, I promise!) I encourage as much silliness and creativity as you can offer. If you have friends who might enjoy this, too, please share this with them! Have fun! Thanks!
