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.)

It was murder narrowing down the field this go-round.
Maybe it's my macabre sense of humor, but there was definitely much guffawing in the judge's chamber as the quick and the dead were being sorted.
CAYTON AWE's caption stood out for the way it succinctly summarized the obliviousness of those of us so wrapped up in our gadgets that we lose touch wth our surroundings. His dramatic choice to zero in on the exact instant when the person stumbles out of the fog only to realize that time is up makes for a great frozen moment of irony.
Congrats to Clayton, and thanks to everyone else for all the laughs,
Pete

This is your brain on stupidity....
Death: "Trust me, my dad is the "hottest" dad I know. Just call and let him know you're on your way.
Driver: "Are you sure this number is a good phone number?" "What if he's not home?"....
Death: "Of course it's a good number...It puts you straight through to hell...and by-the-way, he'll be there...he's always open to meeting unexpected guests."
