Please join us again Monday, Feb. 8, for a new cartoon caption challenge.
Just out of curiosity...does anybody else think that the iPad face looks very similar to how Siers draws Bill Clinton?

I noticed that too, for one.

Yeah, I even entered a caption about that -
a losing caption, I might add.

Bill Clinton? He may have kindled a few flames, but I doubt that involved reading in bed.

If it were Bill, it would be labeled Iprod.

Seriously, since I've entered this cartoon caption I never heard a comment yet on the how the cartoonist is drawing. The idea is to comment about the winners or what you think of them... to do your best to fit the cartoon with your words and hope you get lucky enough to be chosen by the real artist!
