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.)

Thom Richards manged to keep the theme and the imagery of this drawing together by identifying a great pick for the role of the giant. The word is that the giant came out of retirement specifically for this part as it was he first script he'd seen in 500 years in which the giant got to wear a nice Brooks Brothers suit instead of the usual leather and tights.
He's hoping to play against type by writing a happy ending for everyone but the special effects to pull that off in Alaska haven't been invented yet.
We'll be back next week, dress will be come as you are.

Simply because they had no money to buy a "Do not Pass" sign, or because they have long since realized intimidation is more effective.

Alaska: "Exxon, pay up!"
Exxon: "Nope!"
A: "PAY UP!"
E: "NOPE!"
A: "Why don't you just pay up?"
E: "It was your oil!"
A "Yeah, but you were hauling it!"
E: "But, it was your oil, you never warned us about spilling it."
A: "What the hell are you talking about?!"
E: "That poor old lady with the coffee, nobody warned her either!"
A: "What? Coffee is hot, if you are ordering coffee you know that coffee is hot!"
E: "But nobody told her it was hot!"
A: "But your captain was drunk!"
E: "On Alaskan Amber"
A: "Don't you have any ethics? Look at all of the wildlife you have destroyed"
E: "You never warned them to stay outta our way!"
A: "Why should we have, we share the Earth with them!"
E: "Were EXXON Bitch!"
"It's not what you don't say it is what you say, then when you say something that we don't agree with that is what you shouldn't have said!"
and, on and on ...
