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.)

Nothing fancy here, but MARY SOMMERS rams home a great irony with biting sarcasm. The proverbial two by four is part of the well-equipped cartoonist's tool kit. Mary wields it with force. A quick hand for Mary, lest she come after us!

I was surprised at how little response this subject provoked. Remind me next week to put a fish in the cartoon.

Over and out,

Pete

The story centers on a small-town sheriff who witnesses what he believes is a kidnapping and rushes to rescue a woman. The kidnappers turn out to be FBI agents assigned to protect her and deliver her to a big Enron-type corruption trial in Chicago but are later found to be on the take and are villains who are bent on killing her.

Reinstated emission testing

More economic terrorism by the Anchorage Assembly directed towards the citizens.

No time like the past?

Tha Anchorage assembly faces a time machine, and hopefully realize it's time to move forward not backward.

  26     June 27, 2008 - 1:22pm | aweha

Clouded thinking?

Perhaps we need to test the air in the assembly chambers?

  25     June 27, 2008 - 1:12pm | aweha

Snow job or sneeze job?

The assembly tries to cough up new interest in the I/M program.
