Hop to it!
Nice! We received 804 entries in this week’s Cartoon Caption Contest. This was a super creative bunch with lots of terrific punchlines sent in. Our winner came up with a great take on the drawing and a totally different approach. Well played, everyone!
As always, when we have duplicate entries, and we always do, we pick the earliest sent in.
