Hello Napkin Kin!

I have had this drawing in my sketchbook for quite a while. I hadn’t been able to come up with what I wanted to be in the word bubbles. Recently I went to a lecture by Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor for The New Yorker magazine. He was the one who started the caption contest that is always on the back page of the magazine. It sparked the idea for this post.  Why don’t I have you all write the caption for the drawing!

And guess what? The winner will receive a print of this drawing!

So, here it is.  the quotes can be your original idea or quotes from elsewhere. It can be one saying divided into 2 parts (which I do frequently in my drawings) or it can be 2 distinctly different quotes.  It can be funny, profound, quirky, etc.  If your quote is from someone else, please let me know who said it.

I am looking for is something that amplifies and clarifies the image (and vice versa).  So, look at the image and think about it. What is it saying to you and others?

To submit your idea just put it in the comments below. Designate the part of the quote you want in the top and bottom by just putting a 1 and 2 before the various parts. Ok? then let’s GO!  Also, I would love it if you shared this with your social media channels because the more the merrier when playing this sort of game, right?
