         <title>And The Cartoon Caption Contest Winner is...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<img alt="Contest-winner1508" src="http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/opinion/walthandelsman/blog/Contest-winner1508" width="500" height="607" />

First place (see cartoon above) was awarded to <strong>Steve Greco of Smithtown, NY. </strong>

Second place went to: <strong>Madis Partel of Mattituck, NY</strong> with this entry...

 Hillary: "If you win I'll take up bowling"
Obama: "If you win I'll take up drinking" 
</strong>
and Third place was given to: <strong>Jim Lavery from Valley Stream, NY</strong> with this entry...

Hillary: "I'll take the high ball and you take the bowl ball..."
Obama: "and McCain'll get to D.C. before us!"

Very creative stuff...A job well done by all!

         <description><![CDATA[Wow...You guys are amazing! 

Over 120 very clever captions at the time of this posting! 

But the fun has to stop sometime... So post your final efforts by <strong>midnight tonight.</strong>

I will be inking in the word balloons, contacting our big winner and posting the final 'toon right here at the end of this week.

Thanks so much for giving it a shot. I'll be sure to do this again soon.

         <description><![CDATA[Okay, Folks...Below is a toon with Hillary and Obama talking. What could they possibly be saying to each other?

 Just post your submissions in the comment area and be sure to include your email address. The winner will be picked the last week of April. I'll ink in the winning punchlines and post the completed cartoon here. The winner will also receive their own signed color print of the toon.


Please keep it clean and have fun...
