Editorial Cartoon: California Wind Storm Caption Contest

Today’s editorial cartoon started as usual with me reading about the terrible Wind Storms in California last week.  Of course nature was the cause but what if it were something else.  Thus began my problem.  There are so many choices for the cause of severe wind….

• A Republican National Debate was in town.
• The Friggin Loon visited California last week (for the uninformed she is reported to have terrible gas)
• An A-list actor purporting to support the Occupy movement while reaming his/her accountant for not finding enough tax shelters/loopholes.

So do you like any of those?  Or come up with something to top it.  Let your creative juices flow…

Cartoon Roundup

So I have been busy behind the scenes doing cartoons and contributing elsewhere so I thought I would give a roundup of my busy busy life.

First, the Webcomic Alliance, periodically puts out sketch challenges.  A few weeks ago it was “Your favorite Marvel or DC Characters in the classic, “Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil”.”  Now of course I went off template and included some of my favorite cartoon characters that I thought would fill the role perfectly.

Then our friend Ahmnodt Heare put on his annual “Draw Ahmnodt Week” Challenge.  Never mind that only two of us submitted entries.  But here is my donation to the cause.

Finally Gav over at Boys Will Be Boys put on a cartoon caption contest.  Not only is he yet another Aussie friend (I don’t know how you all find me) but he has good taste and I WON!!  Here was my winning original signed and sent along with a nice message that I received in the mail yesterday.

Caption Contest Winner

It was a tough battle back and forth between Tony’s entry and Roland’s entry but at the end of the day, you decided. And the winner was Roland. He is the winner of 2 weeks of homepage banner ad space and a signed copy of his award winning entry. (Roland send me a note with your contact info).

Click on his banner to the right or below to head over to Metal Jaw Comics and give Roland some love.

Health Care Caption Contest – Time to Vote

The entries are in and the top five have been chosen. This was a very scientific method that involved algorithms, spreadsheets and asking my wife which she liked best. I had to reword some due to size limitations but the nominees are Carlo, Dave, Tony, Friggin Loon, and Roland. Good luck and start the voting. I’ll announce the winner on Friday.
