BULLETIN: Today’s must see is No Water River, Renee LaTulippe’s wonderful site at http://www.nowaterriver.com/poetry-friday-first-anniversary-celebration-plus-bloopers . She is not only hosting Poetry Friday but also celebrating her first anniversary with No Water River, bloopers and all. Go see for yourself and enjoy! Oh yes, I won a free trip with Renee to 1883. I’m a little hazy on the details.
REMINDER: Even though we’ve posted a new challenge today, contributions to Pat Lewis’s careerymes continue to flow in. Over the three days I left the post up, this blog received more activity and comments than during any previous three-day period since I started in October, 2009. More good ones have gone up already today. THANKS, PAT!
Hi everyone,
It has been a while since Rob Shepperson tantalized us with one of his captionless drawings and dared us to test our wits thinking of the perfect caption. I asked for a new one and, as always, he graciously came through. Here goes.
So what do you think? Ready, set, go!
As many of you know, Rob is a popular, multitalented editorial artist for many newspapers and magazines. He lives in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. Rob has also illustrated a number of books, including titles by Carolyn Coman and the illustrious David Harrison. Check Rob’s site at http://www.robshepperson.com .

“Sorry officer, I spaced out.”
HA!!!!!!
Funny!!!
Thanks Penny!
I wish I had thought of this.
Thanks, Yat-Yee 🙂
That’s great!
Thank you, Linda!
HA! Game over. Not even going to try. 🙂
Thank you, Renee! It came to me easily, because it was something I said to a cop who pulled me over for speeding. Alas, he had no mercy…:-)
LOL
Love your cartoon, Shep!
“Starbucks says the “alien latte ” keeps even we folks awake”
Jeanne Poland
What do you mean, my license isn’t valid?
I keep thinking of all those “Welcome to earth” messages sent last century. Thus my caption: “I could use a little of that welcoming cheer you keep sending us, Officer!”
“Name?” – “F7 Boingboing”
“Occupation?” – “Intergalactic Planetary Conqueror”
“Mission?” – “Destroy King Bieber”
“Carry on sir”
“It just appeared out of nowhere! One minute I’m in a wormhole – next thing I know, CRASH!”
“Oh yeah?! Well show me where it says ‘No Crashing’!”
I like this one, wanted to play with the language but couldn’t make it work. Terrific!
Thanks Linda 🙂 it’s a great image to work with.
This game is way too much fun!
Love this one.
Awesome!
Long story short, she falls for every parking sign she sees.
brilliant! love it 🙂
Is this ticket for illegal parking or illegal immigration?
I don’t have a witty pun to add, but keep thinking this sketch has to do with the fact that yes, the DMV may be giving out temporary driver’s licenses to undocumented aliens. And so where is the Officer going to mail that ticket to paid?
Let’s just pretend I was never here.
“Well, you can only hear, ‘What planet ya from buddy?’ so many times before you lose control!”
I love it!
Look, you don’t have to tell Dad about this, do you?
he he, I love this one!
Thanks, Stephen!
Y’all are too funny. Thanks for pointing out that the alien crashed, which I didn’t think much about—it seemed a normal parking technique if you’re not used to Earth’s gravity setting (basic). Or as David pointed out, someone else is driving. Another scenario would be to replace the sign with an expired parking meter, which could evoke lotsa time/space captions. Anybody wanna draw that? I’m gonna have lunch.
(“What planet you from?”—HA!!!)
“Officer, I swear I wasn’t texting and flying.”
Love it, Cathy!
how about your phone number on that ticket, big boy !
Forget the ticket, find me a good saucer repair, and we’ll take a little spin.
Haha!
Sorry for the inconvenience, officer. This happens every once in a while. It’s caused by a disruption in the flux capacitor. Should I spell that for you? You wanna give me a ticket? No problem, but I’ll be outta here in a minute or so. I don’t really have any of what you call “money” with me anyway. Sorry. This was an unplanned disruption. These things happen at the darnedest times. I know, I know, I’m rather chatty. It gets so lonely up there. You can have just so many conversations with the control panel, and then it’s all over, you know? “Hey, control panel! How’s it goin’? Say, did you see the Fornax cluster last night? Wasn’t that something?” Yeah, every once in a while it’s not bad to stop by the old Earth and see what’s goin’ on. How’s good ole NASA doing these days? What up with John Glenn? I haven’t heard anything about him in donkey’s years.
“Obviously we don’t parallel park where I come from.”
“Clark. Last name’s Kent. K-E-N-T…”
“According to Mapquest, this should be a cornfield.”
HA! Good one!
Perfect!
I think this is the best round of captions we’ve had so far. You people are funny! Thanks for playing the game.
David
“What make you think it was me driving? You cops! Always on our case!”
“Sorry officer, but that poodle had it coming! The sign clearly states no barking.”
“C’mon Officer. It’s New York.”
“At least the pizza arrived in less than 30 minutes.”
