July Caption Contest
I have no clue what’s happening in this cartoon, as I trusted your creativity and wit to make something of it. Clearly something is happening. Please, contribute something original and funny or insightful or angry. Get silly. Humor me. Get rich. Humor yourself by winning $25 USD!
Please remember to make your submission with your name and email address. The email address won’t show but we’ll use it to send you the money when you win. Which you will.

Frieda Vizel
Frieda Vizel left the Hasidic community, the Modern Orthodox community and the Formerly Orthodox (OTD) community. She now lives in Pomona and is actively looking for a new community to leave. She deals with the perplexities of the communities she left by drawing cartoons about them, a habit that gets her into an excellent amount of trouble.77 Responses to “July Caption Contest! Win $25!”
