As we prepare ourselves and our stomachs for the upcoming Holiday of Gluttony Thanksgiving, lets remember to give our brains a workout before all that tryptophan kicks in and zonks us out. How about another Z&F “Put Words in Their Mouths” Caption Contest?
A Spin on an Old Favorite:
The usual rules are to enter your own NEW joke to an already published comic, and I pick my favorite entry. THIS TIME, lets try something new. This comic is already fully written but not yet published. The contest is to see who can come closest to the final punchline I wrote! That’s right, lets see who knows Zorphbert and Fred.. and the Weird Kid…. the best.
Enter your script, along with what you think the Weird Kids is holding as his “home remedy” in the last panel. If you need a refresher course, you can go to the beginning of this little story arc HERE.
The winner will be announced Friday, along with the official posting of this comic!
The Prize?
Being that Friday is Shopping Insanity Day and the beginning of the countdown to Christmas, in that spirit of GIVING and buying gifts for others, I offer as the prize:
…Our brand new Abby’s Adventures kids book (I’m the illustrator of the series) was JUST released! It makes an awesome gift for any kid 2-8 years old. (the series itself may be aimed at girls, but this book is based on the classic Christmas Carol story, a great tale for any child!) I invite any mother, father, aunt, uncle, sibling or friend of children to enter to win this awesome little Christmas book to put under the tree!
Okay, now some Rules:
1. Remember this is a kid-friendly site, okay?
2. ONE entry per person this time, please.
3. I will select the closest entry to my original script/idea. Please review other’s entries so you don’t post the same script again, or you’ll be asked to resubmit. This is basically first come, first serve for entries, so don’t delay if you have a good punchline to enter. If there are no close matches, I will then select my favorite entry regardless of similarity.
4. The previous winner is ultimately ineligible this round (sorry!)
*the previous winner was Chris Watkins …. I ask that Chris opt out from playing this time to give others a chance, thanks!
In the interest of honest competition, I will voluntarily remove myself from this contest since I clicked the original link too soon and saw the finished strip in its entirety. It’s like I saw inside the Holy Grail…
Thanks so much for being fair, Chris. There was a glitch when I tried to post, and it took me a bit to figure it out… I was hoping no one was THAT excited about the latest Z&F, but you proved me wrong! LOL
If anyone else managed to drop by during this glitch, I am hoping they also play fair and opt out…. hopefully this won’t be a large number. If so, I’ll have to use a different comic.
Weird Kid: Yeah,it’s called the Neti Pot, you pour it through one hole and all the bad stuff comes out the other.
Fred: Ooh, are we havin’ tea?
ahahah ewwwwwww ahahahaha!
Weird Kid: It just made my face turn into the late Michael Jackson’s face!
Fred: And you thought Elvis would be back from the dead!
ugh, if ONLY I could just REMOVE my nose a la M-J…. It’s the bane of my existence when I’m sick! LOL
Weird Kid: Yup… pretzel sticks up the nose do it every time!
LOL! totally a weird kid thing to do!
Weird Kid: Sniffing magic markers clears the sinuses every time!
Fred: My favorite flavor is blue!
Todd: ew. Just….ew. You ain’t….ew. Nice work!
Kid: Oh, these COUGH DROPs? No, this is candy and I don’t think it deals with SNEEZING very well.
Fred: Candy you say? Can I have some?
WK: Good old Elmer’s Glue, tastes great
Fred: And less filling.
OK… you see… here is how it goes… hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…
Kay… kay… weird kid is holding his… hmmmmmm… wait… and he says… OK, backup…
Uh, Fred says… No… Zorphbert is like… doing… wait… wait…

OK, OK, here it goes (after seconds of thinking… whoo hoo, am I exhausted)
