Name that 'toon

How this works: Each Wednesday we'll publish an Alaska-themed political cartoon that's begging for a caption. Drawings appear in Wednesday's Opinion section and Tuesday evening online at adn.com.
Your mission: Supply a fitting punch line via the Web page at adn.com/opinion. Just follow the Name That 'Toon link in the online opinion section. Deadline for captions is 4 p.m. Friday following each new drawing's publication. Daily News cartoonist Peter Dunlap-Shohl will select three captions to feature in Sunday's paper along with comments on the captions that will appear on Sunday on the Name that 'toon Web Page. (Sorry, Daily News employees and relations, you're ineligible.)

*COUGH!* Do you have that in unleaded?.

LEO WASSILIE came up with a caption that works so well it's as if the drawing was made later, to fit the words. The combined image and caption create a highly efficient critique of the limitation of the proposed energy relief plan. If everything else functioned with as little wasted energy, we wouldn't be wondering where our next 100 watts are going to come from.

On to next week!

Citrus on this

Give a man a lemon and he puckers for a day.
Teach a man to grow lemons and he puts that pucker to good use.

  38     May 22, 2008 - 6:48pm | Quilver

Do you people listen?

I told you, this is for automobile drivers only. As in four wheels and an engine, buddy.

  37     May 22, 2008 - 12:04pm | newakgurl

Just because it's free....

Doesn't mean it's good for you...

  36     May 22, 2008 - 12:02pm | newakgurl

Ahhhhh...

The bitter sweet taste of success?

Alaska: A leading example ...the world's aide programs...

a clear divide between the rich who can afford and the poor who cannot.

Talk about a quick fix,

Marie Antoinette would be so proud of me.

  32     May 22, 2008 - 10:13am | newakgurl

Keep on drinking...

Just like taxes, it will soon numb you from the pocket on up.

  31     May 22, 2008 - 1:42pm | msommers

The Plan

The plan was pure genius. A Sarah look-a-like and free lemonade strategically place along the coastal trail, and when a cyclyst approaches...."Excuse me sir, but would you like to sign my petition against the airport expansion."

Lemon Tree

Money tree, oh so pretty...

Quench

Satisfies the taste buds, but fails to quench the thirst.

  24     May 21, 2008 - 8:36pm | ultimatecowboysfan

So There

It's actually limeade, from the limelight.

Politics 101-How to make things more palatable

When they call your first idea a lemon, just put some sugar on it, spin it, and serve it back again.

Drink up! But when it's all gone, you'll still be thirsty for more.
