Cartoon Caption Contest — Health Care

Let’s kick off the new year with a health-care cartoon.  We feature the art of professional cartoonist Dan Rosandich.

New Cartoon Caption Contests are announced at the start of the month.

New Joke Contests are announced mid-month.

Here is the cartoon:

Write as many captions as you can.  Then select your best three lines and submit them.  Deciding which lines are your best lines is a great discipline for discovering if what you think is funny is also found to be funny to others.  You can submit more than three lines, the extra lines will be eligible for honorable mention.  Only your first three lines will be judged by our panel of judges for first, second and third place.

Submit your entries by January 15, 2010.  Send them to:  humorpowertips@humorpower.com

    Dear John,

    I’m pondering over my offerings; maybe it’s related to the cartoon, but it seems to me that my captions seem like “obvious” choices anyone could make. I like to think of myself as being fairly “clever” or “creative,” but none of my quips seems to be “groundbreaking.” I see them as more on the “formulaic” side. I wonder if you have any tips to help one out of such a rut as I find myself in this month. After I send them in, I’ll be watching to see what others have submitted.

    Hi Gerald, Good idea. Watch the angles other people take. I’ll write an article on this topic. Thanks for the inspiration. Continue to submit. You’re one of our most frequent winners. And look for an email on the side. John

    Hi John,

    Okay I’m stretching myself…but you’ve inspired me. How do I submit my three lines? In a comment or another way?

    I forgot to include the email address for submitting your captions! Thanks for reminding me. I fixed it. Submitting entries using the email address works better than posting them as comments.
