Send your entries to jokesonyou@news-record.com

Welcome to the News & Record's "Jokes on You" page. Each week I'll post the new cartoon for your caption consideration (see above) and post the previous week's cartoon, the winning entries and all the other entries (see below). I will also try to talk a little about what I liked about the captions I chose and why I thought they worked. Feel free to post comments and ask questions. And remember, this is for entertainment purposes only, so please, no wagering.

LAST WEEK'S WINNER
So, whadda ya think of my selections? Agree? Disagree? Let me know what you think.
Leave a comment. Tell me your pick. Tell me why the ones I picked stink. Or, if you must, tell me how brilliant my choices are.

Well, I guess I'm not the only fan around here of giant monsters destroying cities. You guys doubled your usual number of entries. This of course means you doubled the amount of work for me and cut your odds of winning by half. The most common themes were: It's a TV (or painting); "There goes the neighborhood"; the view is improving, hallucinogenics and mother-in-law jokes. If your excellent caption in these categories didn't make it, well, you were on the right track.
Best Obscure Cultural reference goes to: Bob Mannary for "You realize that Godzooky can't be too far behind..." (Godzilla's son), Brandon Breeze for "Ultra Man will be here any second." (another Japanese import) and David Holley for "Why aren't my lips in-sync with my words?."
Best Inside Joke award goes to: Bob again for this obscure reference: "I suppose now would be a good time to forgive you for smashing the car into that tree back in November..." (an earlier JOY cartoon)
And special judges recognition to Bill Mann for his Brewster Rockit plug. Hey, I can be bought.

WINNER
