There's something magical about the CartoonStock Caption Contest #161. To recap, here's how the contest works: $5 buys you three entries cost. Real cash prizes are $500 for first place and $100 for each of the five runners up. As of this writing, I've invested $35 in this my seventh pay contest and I managed to win $100 on the previous outing. Odds remain good for now while few people enter. My three new entries are shown below at the top of the list; the lower captions were considered by me but ultimately not entered. The drawing of an onstage rabbit abandoned mid-act in a magician's hat is by Avi Steinberg.

It's a snug hat and you don't want to know where the dove is." * * * "I need a volunteer from the audience eager to adopt a performing pet." "His last words were 'Rabbits make such loving pets.'" |
