Nice! We received 601 entries in this week’s Cartoon Caption Contest with so many clever, twisted, and laugh out loud funny punchlines sent in! Our winner combined the idea of being stuck with a common cell phone issue we can all relate to. Great stuff!
As always, when we have duplicate entries, and we always do, we pick the earliest sent in.
