If you’ve never played before, here’s how it works:Think up a good caption for the cartoon, submit it below in the comments box (use any name you want), and my cat and I will choose a winning caption on Dec. 15. I recommend thinking up your own caption BEFORE reading what others have written. The e-mail address must be valid, and the winner gets the book of his/her choice of the books available on my “Buy Books” page. Easy! If you have friends who might enjoy this, please share with them! Thanks! Have fun with this!
