"Please Dad tell me one more time about interbasin transfer works and how Cabarrus Co. pulled it off."

Just was wondering what you the cartoonist was thinking when you drew up Hillary and the fairy. What would your caption have said and do you pick the winner by them coming closest to your thoughts?

I honestly didn't have the faintest idea what a caption for the Hillary cartoon should say, which is pretty much the same for all these captionless cartoons. I guess I wanted to capture some sense of a strong ego reflecting back on itself, in a way that used an incongruent image. If someone else had seen that in the cartoon, I think I may have been prejudiced in their favor, but, as you can see, it wasn't necessary to win. In fact, the Tinkerbell puns were an unexpected treat.
