Oh...come on... its not like it is the end of the world because yours was not picked. Get a life.
Mine never had a chance I guess... Wow, she must have had a bad case of "Cat Scratch Fever" when she laid that egg.
I had three picks to vote for, but after I picked the first one, it said I couldn't vote anymore... I never did get to vote for my fav. the cat scan one... :(
I thought my entry would win - it wasn't in the top ten - but I love the contest and hope you keep it up - looking forward to entering again.
Way to go Mark Mueth, we're pulling for ya'
"Don't worry...he will land on his feet when we kick him out of the home!"
I submitted "So much for the ultrasound. We should have had a cat scan done instead!" I like the other cat scan one too...
Mine was - "Kick it out of the nest before your parents arrive."
And another: "Care to explain this........or has the cat gotten your tongue too?"
I see my caption didn't make it in. "What bird have You been seeing?" Oh well :)
i still enjoy reading everybody else's captions.
I LIKED MY PICK (YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER) I SEE FROM OTHERS THEY LIKE IT TOO.
I think the top 10 chosen are for the most part better than the ones in the comment section. Just because you think yours is funny, doesn't mean that others agree with you. Most in the comment section are lame!
What's up? The caption contest rules say the submission period is over on 1-28. Why did they pick the best on 1-15. I have one that fits our current economy:
Looks like he's already asking for a handout!
Win
I was only allowed to vote once :(
I liked mine "I told you that invitro doctor was a quack"
I liked mine "I told you that invitro doctor was a quack"
I thought mine was cute (of course), " I told you not to read that Stephen King book!"
I liked my caption better and it's not even in the vote. " I told you artificial insemination wasn't such a good idea,Honey...
I just think you get tired of reading them and pick anything. My husband's and my own captions were better than the winner.

I know I'm late but I'm a senior citizen and forgot to send my entry. Here it is,
MauryPovich: "You are NOT the Father"
THE COMMENT CAPTIONS ARE MORE HILARIOUS THAN THE ONES CHOSEN BY
THE JUDGES. GREAT JOB EVERYONE! YOU GUYS CRACK ME UP!
I suppose mine was too risky:
"Okay Gertrude, what happened in Vegas?"
I agree with John Campbell. Mine was probably entered too late, but no deadline was stated. My entry was: "Evolution, or Intelligent Design?"
Like so many others, I'm too late. Mine was "I think evolution is about to take a grand leap!"
I missed the cut off on entering a caption too but I would have submitted, "I've heard there are many dangers lurking in a home but this is ridiculous!"
I didn't think many of those were funny, and "Must be from your side of the family" which was the best of them, was an obvious answer. What was wrong with showing all the answers and letting the public choose? I thought my "But I told you I was pregnant when we met!" was pretty good, and so did my co-workers. You should have given more choices!
I rather like my caption: "Are you SURE you checked out that sperm bank?"
I'm beginning to wonder if they even read these because one of the captions says; we had a rough time when "were we" migrating instead of when "we were" migrating and they didn't even bother to fix it. My entry was; " Of course your the real paw, I mean father."
Mine was..."You want to explain to me again how your relationship is strickly platonic?" Thought it was pretty good, but didn't make the deadline. Apparently it's quite difficult to make the cut too....? Opinions?
"Look Rosemary! Your baby just hatched!"
Oh My God all these are unbelievable it's amazing how writers and drawers put together all there creative and ingenious ideas and make them into wonderful terrific masterpieces like these my personal favorite is the one called ...We're going to have to rethink playdates. by carole laskey-waz and my second was must come from your side of the family by Phyllis Hartzfeld i think that was creative and had some true background all of these are outstanding
Also too late but I would go with "I don`t know who laid that egg, but I`m not going anywhere near it."
Just saw this cartoon YESTERDAY in Parade. Went to place a caption for the contest (only a day later) & all I saw were the results to vote on. Could entries be limited to the first hour or so on Sunday morning or what? Mine would have been...."What were they thinking down there at the sperm bank?!" Do believe this holds more of a laugh then most of those being considered. What are the time limits for entering this contest? This is the 1st time I tried doing this & found it to be rather frustrating & diappointing at the same time. Would appreciate a heads up on the time limitations for entering this contest.
hey i think erin's was hilarious anyone else?
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Dorothy" didn't make it either.
I enjoyed most of the selections. I know you are surely open minded
in your selections. I sent in "Penelope! You gotta lotta 'splaining
to do" Thanks! I will try again. J
Mine was, "I don't know how it happened. It was one impetuous night!"
I submitted one that isn't shown either but I thought Theresa Lipski's was the best: "What fertility clinic did you go to!?"
I like mine best "Have you been cheating on me ?"
I was sure to be in the top ten???!!! somebodys sense of humor stinks
My caption was "did you make nice with the cat?"
My entry was "did you visit that "cat" house again?" I liked the one about the cat scan better but agree there should be more choices that ten. Everyone has a different sense of humor so what is funny to some may be lame to others.
these are the best 10?!?!?
My 2 entries were: "I've got dibs on teaching the other one to fly" and "Lucy, you've got some 'splaining to do..."
What creative minds! I thought of two captions right away, but too late to submit:
"I guess we WILL need a bigger nest!"
"That's what we get for switching to high risk investing of our nest egg."
Loved the "cat scan" caption!
You're always going to have the problem where people think theirs are better than those picked, but it's obviously true here. A few of the 10 ten are good, but most of the ones in the comments are funnier. I sent in 5 good ones, none of which were picked. I think my fav was...."I told you not to lay them during the full moon."
Disappointed in the judging process...maybe they'll fix it for next month.
I thought my caption was funny, but not chosen:
"Honey, what kind of diet were you on?"
I agree with the majority of everyone who submitted a caption and their comments..... EVERY reader's entry should have been posted for voting.......... Why did that not happen? I feel cheated.... Mine was......."Great... That's all we need is a cat!"
dlj - I agee the vote would be deleted, but I'd prefer to have the option to pick ten (not one unlike the website says) and let the judges take it from there. Each time I've looked at the winners I've seen better choices in the comments - and that's true here. Several much more creative captions here! I'm not choosing one nor am I saying this is a bad idea. Just give the voters some real options.
Apparently, I'm late for the entry I'll put in my 2 cents worth "What fertility clinic did you go to!?" Some wise guy will say 'And that's just what it's worth- 2 cents
Apparently, I'm late to put in my 2 cents worth But here it is, anyway "What fertility clinic did you go to!?" Some wise guy will say and that's just what it's worth-2 cents
to john: emphatically 'no', those are not the only submissions. _ _ as you can see, other folk are re-running their submissions. _ _ ditto, i had offered, "i remember thinking that that genetic engineer was saying 'catbird' with a fiendish inflection", which i liked better than my unsubmitted alternate, "finally, catbirds will be able to fight back." _ _ i presume they don't put 100 in the vote pool because that would dilute the vote distribution, and make the winner meaningless. _ _ but given the extreme lameness of most entries in the 10-item lists the last four months that i have seen, the winner is still meaningless anyway. _ _ although a couple here are mildly decent, i'm certainly not voting for any of these 10. _ _ the rules say that creativity + originality are 25% + 25% of the selection, but i can't decide whether to be massively cynical about the honesty of the rules, or to be massively cynical about the competence of whoever is allegedly applying the rules. _ _ i think john you are absolutely correct that they should list 100 submissions for voting. _ _ getting even one vote of agreement out of 100 would be much more satisfying than quote-unquote 'winning', out of a pool of 10-mostly-drivel. _ _ and with a list of 100, readers would have a much better chance of finding something that "shone" for them, even though readers would have to do more "mining" (reading) to unearth their personal gem. _ _ to the administrators of the contest : no doubt you have your own share of cynicism when folk say, "my submission was funnier than any of the 10 picked." _ _ but i believe many or most folk say that NOT out of vested interest in wanting to be vote-able, but because it is simply true that they found their own submissions more smile-engendring than the mostly-uncreative, mostly-unoriginal quips chosen for each month's 10. _ _ i vehemently lobby for extremely expanding the candidate pool, which will increase the entertainment value for your readers, and decrease the sneers about your theoretical cronyism or humor-deficit-disorder
The one I submitted was "Oh Great, She has your mother's hands". You should post all the entries, because the ones up there are not great.
I sent "Oh look, Paw finally broke out of his shell"! Any comments?
I entered the contest and everyone thought mine was much better than any of those listed. "So, you've been cheating on me again, huh?" How come it's not even considered in the group? I still think it is a fun thing anyway, so keep it going:-)
I submitted " Must be from your side of the family." this is very close to the leading vote caption. I don't understand why my caption wasn't shown.
A couple of these are OK but most absolutely STINK. Most of these aren't even funny and yuo can see it by the lack of votes. Are these the only ones submitted? Are the people doing selecting the finalists picking ones submitted by friends? Why not put 100 in the list of finalists?
Cartoon captions are best when they are short and to the point...like "I want a divorce".
"Looks like our child is a throw-back. My grandmother was a Catbird."
My caption was funny....... i thought:"WHOA!"
My caption was funny....... i thought: "WHOA!"
I submitted one but I'm not seeing it... I thought it was funny:
"We don't need Maury Povich to figure THIS one out!"
Too late to enter but here is one anyway:
"Somebody has been sleeping with the enemy"
can't believe my caption didn't even make the top 10.
"REGURGITATION MIGHT BE A PROBLEM HERE".
GEORGE SHEPHERD, AGOURA HILLS,CA.
I know I'm too late, but this is what I thought ot:
"Oh dear! We've got a cat in the hatch!"
