You can vote for the caption for my cartoon now. In fact the voting is probably nearly closed already. Using my cartoon has made this thing a shambles if you ask me. Perhaps next months competition with a cartoon by Len Hawkins will be better.
vote now!
In other news, my Rock, Paper, Scissors cartoon has finally appeared in Reader's Digest, and I had this silly one in last month's Prospect. Nothing in the new one, though. Grrrr.
A big problem with trying to sell gag cartoons is that the mags often pick what you would consider to be a 'filler' gag (one that just bulks up the batch-sort of like every song on every Sting album). When I sent out the batch the with this one in it, I thought there were better ones in there, but Prospect had other ideas. I don't mind though, I'm kind of fond of this. It looks a bit like a Johnny Ryan gag with none of the rudeness.

i love this gag.
Thanks Wilbur!
I know what you mean about mags taking the "wrong" gags. But I find that once they've taken a gag that I was ambivalent about, I suddenly start to like it! The approval of others is a key part of the job, I suppose. This one gets my approval ;-) Great gag.
And thanks Royston! Since Wilbur said it was good, I have actually started to like it more. So much so that it's one of the first cartoons on my website.
