Ship in a Bottle
Ahoy! We received 651 entries in this week’s tricky Cartoon Caption Contest. These were very clever with lots of different approaches used. Our winner came up with a unique punchline that was laugh-out-loud funny. Great job, everyone!
As always, when we have duplicate entries, and we always do, we pick the earliest sent in.
