Caption Contest: week 1

Our first cartoon with no caption. Write one, and the best runs next Friday.

Every Friday we post a Big Plans cartoon with no caption. You write it.

This is our very first one. Wes has a plan, Gus is about to pay for it, Dee has seen this before, and Budget the dog is just happy to be there.

How it works:

  1. Look at this week's cartoon below.
  2. Write your caption in the box. One line is best.
  3. Add your name or a pen name if you'd like the credit. Your email is optional and never printed.

Next Friday we'll run the winning caption, a couple of runners-up, and a new cartoon. There's no prize yet, just the glory and a spot in the magazine.
