Everyone is invited to participate in this contest! The guidelines are super simple: Come up with a creative and funny caption for the above cartoon, and enter your caption(s) in the comments box below. (You’ll have to include your e-mail address, but I’m the only one who’ll see it.) You can submit up to three different captions for the cartoon, and you’ll get a full week to submit them. Deadline is midnight on Sunday, July 15. My cat and I will announce our two favorite captions for prizes: a limited first edition signed copy of my book, Existential Fish, and publication on the blog of the cartoon with your caption. I’ll post your captions as I receive them, so check back throughout the week to see others’ posts. Be creative and have fun! Invite your friends to play, too.
George confidently and calmly explained why he had decided to reject Hoppy’s article for publication. Unfortunately for George, Hoppy went on to become the Beatles.
I realize like gay marriage, it’s “just a matter of time” it’s just … your not my type!
No need to worry, “boiling frog socialism” is just metaphor for the misinformed. Seriously, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a step in the RIGHT direction.
I don’t care if you “speak for the pond.”. You have been watching too many movies. The highway goes ahead!
“Maybe your protagonist could have eczema instead of warts.”
“Look, I’m sorry your wife got the lilly pad AND the flies, but I told you not to sign that damn pre-nup. You just kept waxing poetic about the spots on her belly.”
“My dear Frog, I really don’t think you have a case against Jim Henson’s estate, there’s no way to prove he stole your life story…”
“Apparently you’ve been negligent on your child support payments for all 2,604 of your offspring.”
“Mike, we’ve got some complaints that you’ve been drinking from the cistern again.”
“I don’t understand, either. Every one of them I’ve read says you should have been a prince by now!”
“Sorry, Phil, there just simply isn’t a market for the existential writings of a frog. Can’t you just sing, instead?”
“Look, Dave, the Budweiser commercials are in the past. You haven’t done anything since. I think it’s time you looked for a new career.”
Bart gazed with open disgust and contempt at Stanislaw, his pathetic systems analyst. A terrible excuse for an “evolved” primate. Stanislaw had just turned in his last status report; his last pile of excuses and protestations of “unfair treatment”. Bart now eyed Stanislaw’s hand, and wondered whether it will have any flavor.
“Jim, unless it’s casual Friday, the least you could do is put on a tie!”
Dammit Jim. I’m a doctor, not a princess!
Selling an arm and a leg still won’t get you the financing you need for a house these days.
So a poodle, a rabbi, a ninja, and a mushroom walk into a bar and they did what to you?!
“Good God, man! I thought you’d croaked!”

“The Squirrel was just more qualified to be a ‘branch’ manager”
“What I’m telling you, and the contract is very clear about this, is that playing a princess in a major motion picture does not make one an actual princess. I’m sorry, but no, Anne Hathaway does not count.”
“Warts and all” Get it? “Warts”??? its funny, cause… you’re a frog.
…Tough crowd.
Sorry, Mark Twain already beat you to it.
“Robots trying to take over the world, Aliens exterminating the human race…it so cliche…just once I’d like to see you write something different. Can’t you write a love story or something?
“why so unhoppy?”
“I know we’re friends an’ all, Jefferson, but would you mind NOT sitting on my DESK?!”

“I’ve been constipated for DAYS! When am I supposed to read this?”
“For the love of Pete just SPIT it OUT.”
“The vampire flying frog has been done, What about …something about the Grey tree frog? How many shades do you think it turns?”
“So it didn’t turn out like you thought…never mind, there is always the Rainforest Cafe.”
“I can’t apologizing for that kiss, Hoppy. This is the new me.”
“I know, I know…all of those antibiotics and pesticides in bugs have you putting on weight, too.”
“So the princess was not impressed?”
“So, nu?”
I think you’ll find kidnapping laws do not apply to “that damn teacher taking 139 of your kids in a jar for all those snot-nosed brats to see..”
What have you got against Doc Hopper?
He liked you or he licked you? I’m having a terrible time with your accent.
“I guess I should have been more specific when I told her I needed a good frogging.”
“I’m sorry, but this book isn’t nearly as good as those books by Stephen Richter. Maybe if you had made the plot a little more clear- I really couldn’t understand the part with the big purple monster. But if you can do this it will be great! I mean people will love this- a frog that can write!”
The director wants your character to CROAK not expire!

“The script’s lousy, the characters suck, but I gotta say – I like your enthusiasm!”
*sigh*
Comic-Con in San Diego delayed me from getting my captions in until today.
They’re late and past the cut-off … but here they are anywho:
“I hear you … and I’m on board your lilly pad. I hate that #&^$% Geico gecko, too. But The Powers That Be had the final word …”
“Look: Johnny Depp already has a stunt double …”
Don’t worry, Michael: There will be more contests. I’ll let you know. Plus, new captions are always welcome, and fun to read! THanks!
I KNOW they have a dance called the Lindy HOP , but you saw what that show did to Billy Dee Williams career!
Is “Rib-it”, your final answer?
Hey, if you feeling froggy, go for it pal!
Hey, if your feeling froggy, go for it pal!
Your accounts are off by thousands and all you can say is “Rib-it”!
I thought you said you were on the wagon and you gave up all the bar hoping!
Where’s all your drive, your spirit, your get-up and go?
You’d better start producing and hop to it Fred, and stop peeing on my desk!
