Cartoon Caption Contest! (Aug. 1 – Aug. 4)

Here’s how it works:
I’ll post this cartoon for 4 days, you submit your own caption (as many as you like), and at the end of the 4 days, my cat and I will choose our favorite winning caption. Check back periodically and see what others have posted. (Try coming up with your own caption before reading what others have written!) I’ll publish the winning caption(s) on Tuesday, August 5. You can enter under any name you want, just make sure the e-mail address is real. (No-one else will see the e-mail address besides me, I promise!) I encourage as much silliness and creativity as you can offer. If you have friends who might enjoy this, too, please share this with them! Have fun! Thanks!

    Hey moron…the wax goes on the shell not on your feet!

    “…but twerking looked so easy on TV!”

  9. David August 1, 2014 at 3:31 am #

    I don’t think real missionaries ever needed a ladder.

  10. David August 1, 2014 at 3:33 am #

    I need you to clean the leaves out of my gutters.

  11. David August 1, 2014 at 3:39 am #

    My worker’s comp scam has hit a snag.

  12. Andy August 1, 2014 at 3:45 am #

    Excuse me, do you have a moment for me to tell you about the church of ladder-day saints?

  13. Andy August 1, 2014 at 3:48 am #

    “Did you hear they’re making a new teenage mutant ninja turtles? I wanna audition!”

  14. Andy August 1, 2014 at 3:49 am #

    “I’m not upside-down… the world is a sphere!! A SPHERE!!!”

  15. Todd August 1, 2014 at 3:50 am #

    See, I told you we needed the gummint to regulate step ladders! It’s a miracle we’re not all dead!

  16. Andy August 1, 2014 at 3:56 am #

    “How did you fall?” …”I slipped on that cartoonist’s signature!”

      Is this really what flipping is?

  17. Sandy Corning August 1, 2014 at 5:19 am #

    It definitely takes more than ONE turtle to change a light bulb.

  18. Hudson and Dawn August 1, 2014 at 6:18 am #

    I was trying to learn how to parachute and my chute didn’t open…shoot!!

    How many turtles do YOU think it takes to change a light bulb then?

    Quick! Save yourself, before the baby hairless ape comes back with a taller ladder!

    It was the only way I could think of to get a tan on my belly.

    See, I’ve now proven to you that turtles don’t always land on our feet!

  19. David Whealey August 1, 2014 at 9:54 am #

    Ok I AM too old to break dance.

  20. spolford August 1, 2014 at 10:51 am #

    “. . . and then he pulled out his wallet and his credit card was gone!”

  21. Dan H. August 1, 2014 at 2:46 pm #

    HA! Now YOU’RE “it”!

  22. Mike August 1, 2014 at 6:19 pm #

    I thought we could spice up our love life.

  23. Mike August 1, 2014 at 6:20 pm #

    What goes up must come down.

  24. Mike August 1, 2014 at 6:21 pm #

    Back in the day, I really could break dance.

  25. Mike August 1, 2014 at 6:23 pm #

    MOM! Don’t you knock???

  26. Brian M August 1, 2014 at 7:52 pm #

    You didn’t see this.

  27. Jen C. August 1, 2014 at 8:04 pm #

    What do you mean you’ve fallen for me?

  28. Pauline August 1, 2014 at 9:52 pm #

    Ladders aren’t as reliable as they used to be.

  29. Vickie August 2, 2014 at 1:11 am #

    This is the third time today I’ve tripped over that damn stepping stool!

  30. Vickie August 2, 2014 at 1:12 am #

    Would you call Marsha and tell her I’m gonna be a little late?

  31. Vickie August 2, 2014 at 1:14 am #

    Yeah, that wisdom tooth’s definitely gotta come out.

  32. Portus August 2, 2014 at 3:54 am #

    You’ll never get me t’talk, y’hear me? Never! NEVER!!

  33. Portus August 2, 2014 at 3:58 am #

    It was YOU, wasn’t it? YOU, who put the step-ladder directly in my path!!

  34. Portus August 2, 2014 at 4:03 am #

    You’ve got the alibi and you’ve got the evidence. But what about the motive, Bob? What about the motive?

  35. Mike August 2, 2014 at 11:28 am #

    I just thought I would check under the hood.

  36. Mike August 2, 2014 at 11:29 am #

    Keep moving. Nothing to see here.

    • Wendy August 5, 2014 at 1:12 am #

  37. Mike August 2, 2014 at 11:30 am #

    I was just trying to change a light bulb.

  38. Mike August 2, 2014 at 11:32 am #

    I thought it might be nice if you were on top for a change.

  39. Mike August 2, 2014 at 11:33 am #

    I really thought I could fly.

  40. Mike August 2, 2014 at 11:35 am #

    I had to do it. You triple dog dared me!

  41. Mike August 2, 2014 at 11:37 am #

    Yes, now I know. I am NOT a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

  42. Nancy Baur August 2, 2014 at 3:52 pm #

    What? I’m bringing breakdancing back!

  43. Kelly M. August 2, 2014 at 4:03 pm #

    I’m gonna keep doing this until you say yes!

  44. Leigh August 2, 2014 at 4:20 pm #

    You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record, baby…

  45. Leigh August 2, 2014 at 4:20 pm #

    I hate gym.

  46. Leigh August 2, 2014 at 4:21 pm #

    I call this one the Sunny side Up.

  47. Leigh August 2, 2014 at 4:23 pm #

    The DVD clearly said beginner’s yoga.

  48. Casey August 2, 2014 at 4:41 pm #

    The commercial said drinking Red Bull® would give me wings… False advertising?

  49. CC August 2, 2014 at 4:41 pm #

    What’s the big deal? This is the only way I can get into savasana!

  50. Casey August 2, 2014 at 4:43 pm #

    I was practicing my routine for “America’s Got Talent.”

  51. Wendy Jacobs August 2, 2014 at 5:42 pm #

    You told me this ladder would reach the lettuce. Now look what you have done. Jumping feet first was a really bad idea!!!

  52. Pancake August 2, 2014 at 7:07 pm #

    You said you’d catch me! What th’ hell?!

  53. TJ August 2, 2014 at 7:25 pm #

    All men really want are Gold Toe Socks

  54. Robert August 2, 2014 at 8:00 pm #

    That proves it. I’m just not cut out for climbing the corporate ladder.

  55. Robert August 2, 2014 at 8:02 pm #

    I can’t even make it climbing the corporate stepstool, much less the corporate ladder.

  56. Anne August 3, 2014 at 12:57 am #

    Help! I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.

  57. spolford August 3, 2014 at 3:21 am #

    Bob’s dream of Olympic Backstroke Gold hits a snag.

  64. Mike August 4, 2014 at 3:54 pm #

    There’s always a bad apple in the bunch.

  65. Mike August 4, 2014 at 3:56 pm #

    After hours of trying to talk her down, Sue jumped.

  66. David August 4, 2014 at 4:14 pm #

    Remember that children’s show ‘Pinwheel’? There was that snail who was always on his way to the big annual snail convention that only happened once a year because it took all the snails six months to get there and six months to get back. He was always on the move, but he never seemed to leave the garden. Remember that? I really liked that show.

  67. Mike August 4, 2014 at 4:15 pm #

    If only Betty would have worn her new glasses, she could have avoided this catastrophe.

  68. Susanna August 4, 2014 at 4:15 pm #

    What did the snail on the turtle’s back say?

    Wheeee!

    (OK, not really a caption – but one of my fave turtle jokes 🙂 )

    Sit ups are harder than I thought.

    Turtles on drugs.

    Mary turning tricks to support her drug habit.

  72. Mike August 4, 2014 at 4:20 pm #

    I was listening to Van Halen’s Jump. I guess I got a little carried away.

  73. Mike August 4, 2014 at 4:22 pm #

    Whee! I’m a top.

    Don’t tell your mother.

  76. Don H August 4, 2014 at 9:25 pm #

    Would you be so kind as to call 911?

  77. Chaz22 August 4, 2014 at 10:10 pm #

    OK, who’s in charge here?!”

  78. Chaz22 August 4, 2014 at 10:10 pm #

    “I WANT TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGEMENT!!”

  79. Teresa R. August 4, 2014 at 10:11 pm #

    Do not, I say, DO NOT TICKLE ME!”

  80. Teresa R. August 4, 2014 at 10:12 pm #

    I will hurt you bad if you tickle me.

    “Two steps forward…..and I’m on my back!”

    “I’m glad this isn’t a 12 step program….I couldn’t even make it TWO!”
