The Joke's On You
THIS WEEK'S CARTOON 062609
Send your entries to jokesonyou@news-record.com
Welcome to the News & Record's "Jokes on You" page. Each week I'll post the new cartoon for your caption consideration (see above) and post the previous week's cartoon, the winning entries and all the other entries (see below). I will also try to talk a little about what I liked about the captions I chose and why I thought they worked. Feel free to post comments and ask questions. And remember, this is for entertainment purposes only, so please, no wagering.
Wow. I need to go on vacation more often (no comments), the entries this week were double the usual amount.
I mostly tried to steer away from the puns (”Look sharp”, etc.) because there were so many.
Oh, and sorry about the lagging and partial blog updates, I’m still getting used to a new system. Speaking of the blog, a LOT of good entries this week plus a top 10 list of the worst gifts for a porcupine from Bob Mannary.
