Cartoon caption contest: Not The New Yorker's

Filed under: Seal Barks   Tagged:

There are a lot of these out there, many of them, let's say, not New Yorker caliber. (Which the magazine no doubt still styles "calibre.") This one is a particularly uninspiring one that intends to really sock it to that Wiccan lesbian radical Hillary Clinton. Whatever you think about her or how you plan to vote, how 'bout we flood the contest with more apropos captions than the ones they're probably planning for? I'll let their words inspire you:


Clever enough to intrigue adults yet easy for kids to enjoy, 'Help! Mom!' [full title: "Help, Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!"] follows the adventures of Tommy and Lou as they open a lemonade stand in hopes of earning enough to buy a swing set. Will they be able to achieve their goal, or will 'the usual suspects—Congresswoman Clunkton, the LCLU and Senator Krunkle—thwart their plans?

Plans will be thwarted, all right. But by whom? Rock the vote.
