I am happy to announce the winner of Caption Contest 15 -- Rick! Here's his entry:

This one was probably a bit borderline in terms of appropriate content for a sitcom, but come on, "Oboy oboy"?! If you don't laugh at that you're dead inside. Rick will get a custom black and white illustration of whatever he likes (within reason).

I appreciated all the creativity that went into the entries, but wanted to single out the following honorable mentions as particularly good:

Girl: Erwin, are you sure the “Blueberry Pie Avenger” is the best super hero theme you can come up with?
Off-panel: These are the ONLY powers the mutant pie gave me!
-- MLS

On screen: Oh god! I put the roast to bed and the baby in the oven!
Off screen: LUCY! You got some ’splainin to do!!!
-- Socrates

Thanks to everyone who entered! I'll be posting Caption Contest 16 in a moment, so stay tuned for your chance to win.

Caption Contest 12 Prize

xStacy and I have completed the prize for the Caption Contest 12 winner. The description was:

Female, light hair, in standard gunslinger gear--boots, jeans, shirt, tied-down revolver, duster, a Confederate cavalry hat--with a fan of five cards in her left hand. Maybe facing off with a giant tarantula or two somewhere in the Arizona desert.

I wasn't able to work in the giant tarantulas, but here's what I did come up with:
