March 27, 2011
Congratulations to Chuck Lewis for submitting the winning caption. See if you've got what it takes to be the next winner -- a new cartoon has been posted.
"Comical Processing" features drawings by award-winning cartoonist Jerry King. It’s our way of letting you take a break from all the serious stuff you deal with at work —  by coming up with appropriate light-hearted captions.

This has almost as many twists and turns, ins and outs, ups and downs as
Charlie Sheen's rehab record.
