Grand theft cartoon! It's clobberin' time!

Staff artist/cartoonist Tim Rickard draws a reader-participation cartoon each week called "The Joke's on You." It is popular and readers normally dozens of funny captions. This week, though, Tim raises a more interesting question.

This is his cartoon of May 2.

This is Parade magazine's cartoon of May 11.

Batman and Ironman sitting in a bar in Tim's. Batman and Superman sitting in a bar in Parade's.

Tim's nice about the uncanny coincidence: I don't know what kind of responses they'll get with a national audience, but I'll put you guys up against them any day. We'll compare their best with yours next week. Yes, it's a cartoon smackdown!

As you can read, there are at least 100 submitted captions for Tim's. Take that, Parade.
