Our celebrity judge and co-host for this week's Caption Contest is none other than Johanna Draper Carlson, of "Comics Worth Reading" fame! Many thanks to Johanna for coming up with the panel for our contest this time around; since she's been instrumental in opening my eyes to what manga (Japanese comics, basically) has to offer, I asked her to pick a good panel from that world, and boy did she deliver:
Johanna will also help judge the winner after all the entries are in, so don't be afraid to go over to her blog and leave some nice sucking-up style comments! Flattery might not work, but then again, it might.
The rules are the same as always:
- Keep it clean, appropriate for a broadcast television prime-time show;
- Make your entry in the comments to this post;
- No more than three entries per person.
The funniest entry (as judged by Johanna and me) will win a free black and white custom illustration of whatever they like (within reason) by professional illustrator Jeff Hebert (that's me!). So put on that funny cap and get to work! The contest ends next Monday night / Tuesday morning.
(Note: The contest is now closed and Johanna is deciding on the winner. Check back later today for the announcement!)
Jeff, I’m not seeing the speech bubbles….
Stupid Japanese comics 🙁
Good point, Ashton, thanks. I’ve changed the image (forgive me, original creator person!) to add a Western-style dialog balloon pointer to the character’s mouth. Let me know if it’s still not clear.
