Add the Punchline to Our Octopus Cartoon
If you've got wit, add your punchline to Patch's weekly comic and win a personalized print.
Are you blessed with insight and good humor? Or just bored today? Share your wit with your south suburban neighbors by entering Patch's comic caption challenge. Just add your dialogue for today's comic in the comment section of this post. Our only requirement is that you keep it clean!
At week's end, we'll pick the winning punchline based on how many of us here at Patch giggle and smile at your contribution. The user who produces the winning punchline will get a personalized proof of the comic, with the winning words and a credit line, from cartoonist Chuck Ingwersen and Patch.
Congratulations to Russ Arthur, who provided the winning punchline to last week's horse comic:
Yep, she definitely looks like your mother!!!

Only one part of a mans brain can function at a time, where as many parts of a womans brain can function at the same time. Woman were born to multitask, we have many tentacles.

HA! James, as someone who recently explored speed dating as a Patch-elorette (coined by TP Patch Editor Carrie Frillman), this is eerily true. :)
