adn.com | Name that 'toon : I see a gas line if only you'll give me $500 million.

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.)

I see a gas line if only you'll give me $500 million.

Posted by cartoonist

I see a gas line if only you'll give me $500 million.

Steve Gruhn captured the seance feel with his punchy reminder of what the stakes are. Unfortunately, our only other hope is seeing oil go to $600 a barrel, at which point we'll be carving into ANWR and anywhere else there is a hint of a rumor of a possibility of a chance there might be oil with the corkscrew attachments on our Swiss Army knives.

Not a pretty thought. So all of us Alaskans need to summon up our psychic energy and raise the spirit of gas line through our collective will. Uh, Frank, you're excused.

Thanks to all who contributed!

Pete

From Sarah:

"Lyda and John, I know this will be difficult for you to complete, but think outside the box".

48 June 7, 2008 - 9:31am | aweha

Levitation?

Lyda: John, put down the table!

47 June 6, 2008 - 4:32pm | ultimatecowboysfan

Caught Up In It

There are three people you can't hold a candle to.

46 June 6, 2008 - 2:22pm | g38r93b

Knowledge

No one can hold a candle to my administration's knowledge of oil and gas issues.

45 June 6, 2008 - 8:28am | g38r93b

Open

In the spirit of being open and transparent, I wanted to show you how we evaluated the TransCanada proposal.

44 June 6, 2008 - 4:27pm | ultimatecowboysfan

You Reeka!

If their candle goes out, will they cross over to the dark side?

43 June 6, 2008 - 8:20am | g38r93b

Sounds

Success! We've contacted the "other side." Do you hear it? The sounds of pipeline construction!

42 June 5, 2008 - 9:37pm | g38r93b

Candle

If you're uneasy with the seance now, just wait until the candle burns out.

41 June 5, 2008 - 8:49pm | ultimatecowboysfan

A Lot At Stake

Can we get a rare medium well done?

40 June 6, 2008 - 4:29pm | ultimatecowboysfan

Wicked Bizzness

Let's hope they know wick end is up.

39 June 5, 2008 - 8:39pm | ultimatecowboysfan

Is There A Ghost of A Chance?

Will they reach a happy medium?

38 June 5, 2008 - 8:20pm | ultimatecowboysfan

What It's Shaping Up To Be

That's about the size of it. A small, a medium and a large.

37 June 5, 2008 - 4:00pm | mykroroxxx

Of course the table's going to move:

I stuck a candle on a polar bear's back!

36 June 5, 2008 - 8:29pm | ultimatecowboysfan

What Did You Say?

Looks like the slow burning candle has met it's match.

35 June 5, 2008 - 11:17am | aweha

Unempowered?

After the special session in Juneau they blew out the lights.

34 June 5, 2008 - 11:11am | aweha

Silence could be deadly!

With this lit candle we'll truly find out who has the gas deal or just hot air!

33 June 5, 2008 - 11:05am | aweha

Huh?

Let's try to be democratic here!

32 June 5, 2008 - 9:40am | ultimatecowboysfan

Cooking With Gas?

They are conjuring a lot of bread. Hope they don't make a bull only sandwich.

Writen Off

More like pigs in a poke Eh!!!

June 6, 2008 - 5:59am | ultimatecowboysfan

You Ham!

Yeah! It's better than three pigs doing the hokey pokey. I hadn't thought about Frank for awhile.

Listen

Listen up! Do you feel the presence of my high public approval ratings?

28 June 6, 2008 - 8:31am | g38r93b

Trust

Trust me. This is one candlelight dinner you'll want to forget.

27 June 5, 2008 - 7:42am | ultimatecowboysfan

Working Together

Now...that's the spirit!

26 June 5, 2008 - 8:17pm | g38r93b

Process

Eye rolls and catnaps aren't in the spirit of the gas line proposal review process.

25 June 5, 2008 - 7:40am | ultimatecowboysfan

Overheard

Sarah: "The flame is flickering again."
Lyda: "I was not pushing that time."

24 June 5, 2008 - 7:37am | ultimatecowboysfan

Sound Logic

Heros always show up in the nick of time to save the day. To be successful, remember to start early.

23 June 5, 2008 - 6:58pm | g38r93b

Magic

ABRACADABRA! Say "I'll support the TransCanada proposal" three times and the spirits will magically unlock your leg shackles.

22 June 5, 2008 - 7:36am | ultimatecowboysfan

Saw It On Discovery

Don't invoke anything larger than your head.

21 June 5, 2008 - 7:35am | ultimatecowboysfan

At Most Fear

If the spirit you summon starts offering legal advice: it might be a demon.

20 June 5, 2008 - 7:00am | leowassilie

random thoughts

Lyda: "Hey buddy, what's with the head?"

John: "I find you unacceptable."

Sarah: "... Ahhh... Geeee Iiiii... Ahhhhhh..."

Highmaster: "A personal conveyance named after its inventor, an assassinated ruler, a character from Greco-Roman myth and a small furry mammal."

June 5, 2008 - 9:29pm | prjasper

Let us guess

Mostly black with white stripe down it's back?

19 June 5, 2008 - 6:48am | leowassilie

hot air

Sarah: I summon thee, rise Alaskan spirit!

Lyda: What is she talking about now?

John: A $500 million investment.

just a nightmare

In the nightmare, gas prices are $20/gallon, the power goes out in Juneau again and governor Palin calls a special session on alternate energy.

oil company spirits

The oil company spirits are saying, "you know we always have Alaska's best interests in mind..."

A Sarah Palin look-alike, "Psychic Clara," attempts to conjur up lower gas prices.
