The New Yorker Cartoon Anti-Caption Contest #319
WINNERS
FIRST PLACEOne of those rats was for me. --JohnnyB (JUDGE'S COMMENT: The other snake responds: "I know. That's why I ate it so fast, shithead." This may be a comment on greed, gluttany or the republican primaries. Think about it: When you're a predator you feel entitled to prey.When you are prey, you don't want predators in charge. This is one of Johnny's best caps ever!)
SECOND PLACELet's go over this again. Describe your greatest asset that qualifies you for a desk job.--boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: "Well," said the snake, "apart from having an enormously huge ass, I'm a slitering cold blooded vipor with sharp fangs and a nasty disposition. As such, I firmly believe I'm well qualified for a mid-management position.")
THIRD PLACE"I sure wish the Man would censor the internet and save me from being traumatized by the sight of a perfectly well-drawn snake with a ridiculous, anthropomorphized turd-cutter." --PIPA's Ass (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Topical and creative, yet somewhat baffleing.This is two good to ignore even if the choice of butt medaphor is a bit creepy and gross--and not in a good way. )
HONORABLE MENTIONSI told you not to eat Liza Minelli.Now you're going to be in the National Rattler! --cubshlub (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Very stupid but admitedly Liza, while still a national treasure, has developed some junk in her truck ...also "Rattler" rhymes with "Tattler" so this has some juice.)
"Christ, what an asshole!" --Dex Christ, what a whole ass.--Jim Cavananaugh (JUDGE'S COMMENT: A classic and a variation on a classic. The second is better that the first but they are both pretty awful.)
Fussssssssilli, you crazy backssside, how are you? --JohnnyB (JUDGE'S COMMENT: You can so easily visualize Johnny sitting in front of laptop with a bottle of gin and a pack of Luckys. He ponders and ponders and comes up with this. Supposedly they taste like chicken, Johnny. That's what I've heard about snakes.)
Spill the beans. I don't have three weeks to see if that's James or the giant peach.-- boneguy (JUDGE'S COMMENT: This is a variation on an entry that didn't make the cut and a comment on my tartiness. Noted.)
"We no longer crawl for OR eat their horseshit....oh, sorry, that's next week's cartoon."--Anonymous (JUDGE'S COMMENT: Can't say I blame you for getting ahead of us. The "horseshit" part reminds me of something John Madden told his team when he was coach of the Raiders: "Don't worry if the horse is blind, just load the wagon.")
